Um... Windows Vista task manager?
I don't know how to get to task manager on Windows VISTA. Ctrl+Alt+Delete doesn't work, it doesn't give me the option to go to task manager, task managed isn't even mentioned on the window that pops up.
When you right click on the taskbar a little menu pops up, and task managed is one of the options, but it's grayed out so I can't select it.
I read on the Internet that pressing Cntrl+shift+escape brings it up, but when I press it nothing happens.
Help?

Yeah, my buddies all have Vista too, and it works fine for them as well. Only my version seems ****ed up...
When I ctrl+alt+del the usual screen pops up with most of the options, shut off, lock computer, log of etc. Every option is there EXCEPT for Task Manager.. it's like my copy of Vista simply doesn't have access to task manager...
And I would drop Vista for XP if I could in a heartbeat.. a lot of my older games and stuff on it work on it either.

Alright but seriously, I'll look.
Okay, try this link:

I'll keep searching in case that link doesn't provide a solution.

And its RAM-hunger is misunderstood, as most of it goes to the SuperFetch function, which is designed to speed up the accessing of applications.

Microsoft's SP2 support for XP is terminating soon with the advent of SP3 and retailers will stop selling it XP altogether in June. So like it or not, Vista will the the main player from then on.
Nah, **** that, I can wait 3 years for their next, hopefully less shitty version.
Another good thing is that more people will see the merit of linux based systems after Microsoft decided, once more, to piss all over their face and charge them for it.

Superfetch is intensly annoying.But other than that... Vista really is not so bad at all.
Linux, meanwhile, is a useless pipedream.
Can you play, like, every PC game on it without any problems? mmm
Right click the taskbar and click on task manager...

*cough*
Again I ask, does your account have administrative privileges on the machine? If it doesn't, then that is the likeliest cause of your Task Manager dilemma.
There is only one profile on the machine: mine. I am the head administrator.

lol. Nah, I've had that problem before and know how to fix it. That's not it this time though, unfortunately.

I mean that expecting it to be any good for mass use is a fool's game. nerds talk about Linux like it is the saviour of all things compuer but such vision is blind. It's not scaleable, it's not practical, it's no bloody good for the mass market and something like Vista is much better for general use.
And yes, hopeless lack of compatibility does contribute towards it being a pipedream.
Anyway, if none of the above we are very much looking towards malware here.
