Ever since I installed a fresh copy of XP my task manager has not worked propery, and what I mean by that is it always closes on me after about 1 - 5 minutes of use, and sometimes it doesn't even open. I used Windows 2000 for about 2 1/2 years before XP so I'm familiar with how things work, but this one has me baffled. I checked the logs and this is the only thing I can find that relates to the task manager: File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.0.
