What "flavor" of Mint are you running?

If you right-click your desktop, click Open in Terminal, and type in gnome-panel (assuming you're using gnome), what do ya get?

Right mouse click on the bottom panel, select panel options, then panel settings. Select Add Widget. Find the task manager widget and add it to the panel.

Thanks obvious rely perhaps I should read the help files !! I have looked at them but think a book may be better can you recommend one? ( for a newby of course ) I am trying to get both my monitors working but for some reason that bit is missing from the help file
Could not find filename multiplemonitors.html in file:///usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en//kcontrol/multiplemonitors.html.
