I would try monitor setting first using the buttons on the front of your monitor. If that does not help try right clicking desktop click properties and then click the setting tab and try changing the setting and clicking apply.

If I understand you question correctly, when you try to access task manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, it's taking you directly to the Processes tab within task manager and bypassing the dialog box with the usual Lock Computer, Log Off, Shut Down, Change Password, Task Manager and Cancel buttons. I'd try restarting your computer.  If the problem persists and you're using Windows XP, try doing a System Restore (start > help and support > system restore) to a date when the problem was not occuring.  If this doesn't work, and if you have your XP install disk, I'd try a system file check.\n\nClick start > run > type in "sfc / scannow" > OK (no quotes and note the space between sfc and /scannow.)  The scan will check for damaged or missing files. If any are found you'll be prompted to insert the install disk. It could take an hour or more so be patient. Hope this helps.\n\nplrr

Need more info. What does it do when you try to access the task manager? Two ways I can think of is ctl-alt-del and right-click taskbar and click task manager.

If the computer isn't old, there's usually an ability to fix your computer before the login/desktop sequence. Look on the screen for prompts that tell you to hit F8 or F4 and the like.

I suggest down loading the program again.  But this time save it to your desk top.  After the down load is finished, click on the icon and let the program choose the place for installation.

Try right clicking on the taskbar, lower bottom, and see for some setting, I always click in the taskbar and click, show desktop..

Try going onto a different account, and then put the icon or dashboard folder into shared (or something like that) and then go back to your account and go to shared (or something like that) and try opening it.

Restore to last known working configuration === turn on computer and start tapping the F8 key. You will get a prompt. Select this option.\n\nIf that dont work, do the same thing, but go into safe mode as administrator. From there, its a whole new troubleshooting process. Disable all your startups in MSCONFIG and try again.

Go to control panel then click on Accessibility Options.  Maybe that'll help.
