I have a couple of application windows open, and right
click an open window in the task bar. Suddenly all active
processes I would normall expect to see listed in the
Processes tab of my Task Manager open as windows in their
own right and my Task Bar has about 50 windows open!! If
I scroll through the windows (Alt+tab) each on is a
process that I would normally only see in my Task
Manager?

All I can do is shut down and restart. I can find nothing
on this in the MSKB? Can anyone help?


Thanks! AlisonJS.
 
Active processes on task bar

Hi,

I had the same experience last night on my XP Home installation. I thought perhaps I had a virus but a reboot showed machine fine. I was wondering if windows update had introduced the problem as my last update was just a few days prior. Has anyone found a resolution for this issue - meanwhile I'll try the MS site............
