In addition to the reply by RobetVA, you should note that task manager in 98
will not bring up all the available functions found in XP or Vista's task
manager.

The question might be: What are you trying to do?

As Mr. VA has said, if you just want to stop a process, Ctrl-Alt-Del is
the way - but since that's one of the ways to do it under XP, I guess
you'll have tried that.

If you want to see what's using your CPU (and assorted other
information), you need to run wintop (just enter it in the run box). If
it isn't found, you need to install the Power Toys: according to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/188920, "Microsoft Windows 98 Power Toys
[is] located on the Windows 98 CD-ROM in the Tools\Reskit\Powertoy
folder." It used to be downloadable as well (as "Microsoft Kernel Power
Toys for Windows 95 v2.5" - this works with 95/98/etc.), but most of the
links don't seem to work now (if anyone has one that does, those here
would probably appreciate it).
