Hallo to all of you,

I installed Windows Server 2008 (32 bit) on my new desktop and since that I have the following problem:

After starting Windows Server 2008 my taskbar doesn´t appear on the screen and must be somewhere down below, so outside the screen (that´s what I guess as my folders are further down as usual). Further more the folders look higher than usual. After changing the resolution from 1680x1050 to any other resolution and later back again to 1680x1050 the taskbar appears and the folders have the regular size. That happens every time I start Windows. Why is my desktop not created as it should be from the beginning on? Has anyone an idea?

My Hardware:
graphics: GeForce 9500GT 1GB
TFT-screen: Philips 220CW

What if...

* You unlock your taskbar and drag it on the left, right or upperside of the screen and you restart?
* You kill and restart explorer.exe if your taskbar doesn't appear after startup?
* You use a lower resolution and restart to test whether it's the resolution that's causing the problem?

Can't think of any other things to try now...

Good luck!
