Specifically, it is running full screen (can’t see my task bar normally, but it returns when I hover near it).

I did check to see it the taskbar has autohide set, but it shows “always on top” and I have checked for viruses and spyware and it seems ok. Any odd setting thoughts or other suggestions?

Does it load in full screen mode? If so, you may need to tweak the registry. If not, try pressing F11 - its supposed to toggle between full screen and normal mode.

Of course, if you’ve already tried F11, ignore me. 🙂
