Watchful Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I can see the Start button on your screenshot. Do you mean nothing happens when you click it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyp56 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I can see the Start button on your screenshot. Do you mean nothing happens when you click it?No, I mean the window above it is maximized but its hiding behind the start menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchful Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 If you right-click the taskbar/start menu and choose properties, take the tick out of 'keep the start menu on top of other windows' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchful Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Can you not just restore down instead of maximising, so that you still have the start menu beneath your window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyp56 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Can you not just restore down instead of maximising, so that you still have the start menu beneath your window?yes I can, but the user who is on the the computer 95% of the time does not like workarounds. windows should not function this way, fix it! is what he says.

I think he means that he still wants to see the taskbar when the window is maximised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan2273 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Have you tried re-sizing the task bar, right click the taskbar/untick lock the taskbar/position your mouse pointer on top of the taskbar, it will change to a double arrowed bar then drag it downwards.If that works do not forget to relock the taskbar.

rong Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I can't, I've looked at all the settings and cant see anything to change it, I have mine set to auto hide and if I change it to the normal it works properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchful Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Mine is set normal but with a maximised window I can still see the taskbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 This is the view as it should be, not with the bottom of the sheet behind the taskbar. Or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchful Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Yes, that's how mine displays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 What is NEO-54E77A?Whatever it is, seems to be pushing your Window down, thus causing the window to appear to be under the taskbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
