Ahhhh...that's the partial window. Is that how it shows up, or is the top of the dialog box missing? It sounds like there's something missing there. There should be some tabs at the top. If so, click on the "Applications" tab to see the list of your programs. Good luck.

You are missing the tabs at the top. This happened to me once. Try clicking on the top left corner edge of the window and pull it out.(I think that is how I did it)

Double-click on any of the grey box surrounding the task list. That should return your full task manager.
