task manager blank

[Ec]

I recently clicked the network tab on task manager and
the entire window went empty except for this message:
no active network adapters found. Now, each time I
ctrl+alt+del the same empty box with the same message
appears. Can't close it w/o restarting. Nothing. Any
help not involving a hammer is appreciated.

Task Manager Menu Bar and Tabs Are Not Visible in Windows XP

This behavior may occur if Task Manager is running in Tiny Footprint mode.
If you double-click the empty space in the border around the tabs, Task
Manager switches to this mode.
To switch Task Manager to its typical display mode, double-click the top
border of the window.

Double click the border of the task manager. No need to restart BTW.
ALT+F4 closes a window in Windows.
