Windows Task Manager Does Not show applications

[Rob]

I run Windows XP Svc Pak 3. Clicking Ctl/Alt/Del pulls up Task Manager, but
no applications are shown on the applications tab. How is this fixed?

"You must restart your computer after you apply this hotfix."

Yeah, that's a real "hotfix", isn't it?

What applications are running when you bring up the task manager?

That happened to me once, toggling the "Show Updates" checkbox a couple
of times fixed it.

I don't know what you're looking at, but there's no "Show Updates" in
Task Manager.

Do any Processes show on the Processes tab?
When you select View > Update Speed, what is selected? What happens if
you click "Refresh Now"?

Sorry, I was thinking of Add/Remove Programs.
