The words "Windows Task Manager" does not appear. What does appear is
the little green box and in another place on the task bar a computer
icon appears. Nothing happens when I right or left click on that icon.
when I place the mouse pointer over the little green box it shows
the percentage of "cpu usage" nothing else. The little green box is a
kind of bar graph that shows the percentage of cpu usage.

Press Start...press Run...type in...taskmgr...with no
quotes...press Okay.

What does that do?

If you get the Task Manager then...options uncheck hide when
minimized. Check the other two options.
