| | Small problem with Task Manager Running Vista Business with SP1. ============= When I click on the "Show processes from all users" button from the Processes tab, nothing happens. I expect to see a window asking for elevation credentials. However ... nothing. Nor is there anything (that I could find) in the Event Viewer logs. Would someone please point me to a resource to solve this? -- Mike Webb Platte River Whooping Crane Maintenance Trust, Inc. a conservation non-profit (501 (c)(3)) organization Wood River, NE |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Small problem with Task Manager Hello Mike, You would only see it ask you for this if you where doing this from another user account (ex: Standard) that was not the default administrator account.

| | RE: Small problem with Task Manager Hi, Have you tried System Restore to get back to before your troubles began? If the issue still persists, please let me know the following answers. Thank you for your cooperation. 1.When did the issue occur? 2.Did you experience this issue before? If no, did you make any changes or install any software on the computer recently? 3.Does the "Show processes from all users" button go gray out after clicking it? 4.Did you disabled UAC? If so, please enable it to test the issue. If not, please disable UAC to test the problem. 5.Please click Start, type taskmgr.exe, right click on the file and choose "Run as administrator". Does task manager show processes from all users? 6.Please let me know if the user is a member of the local administrator's group. However, according to our customer's feedback, a tweak software could cause the problem. If you are in this scenario, turning off Aero by switching to Windows Vista Basic theme and reactivate Aero could resolve the problem. Hope it helps. |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Small problem with Task Manager Mike, Since you are a part of a domain instead, then there is probably a group policy setting set preventing access to this. You should also check with the domain administrator to verify this and see if they are willing to allow you access or not. Quote: Originally Posted by Mike in Nebraska OK.

| | Re: Small problem with Task Manager Hadn't thought of that. I'm the domain admin (1-man shop), so I'll check the settings. Thanks.
