Task Manager Loses Decoration!
64-bit Windows 7 .... In order to kill a program which was not responding anymore, I started the task manager (Control-Alt-Del, then Taskmanager). I had to klick on "kill task" twice to really kill it, but then it was gone. BUT, what also was gone, was the decoration and menus of my task manager! Instead, the Task Manager Window turned into what you can see on the attached screenshot!
In fact, I ended up with a "task manager" window, which I could not terminate (no window termination and hence no close button, no menus, no buttons for closing the task manager, nothing).
You can also see that there is no way to switch from "tasks" to "processes" or to the performance monitor anymore. All this gone too.
Trying to start again a new taskmanager did not work; it seems that Windows allows only one copy of task manager running.
Of course I can get rid of this problem by rebooting, but I wonder: How can such a situation possibly occur? I had never encountered this problem before.
