This is a long shot, but are you on a flat panel or CRT monitor ?

I`m wondering if the resolution might be too high for the hardware
"resizer" on a TFT (they have one happy native resolution, the rest are
"emulated" )

I don`t own a TFT, so this is just a guess...

Do you get it back to normal if you drop the res ?

What was the bug? I was going to suggest that the integrated video was
still active and the taskbar was on that video display screen (without
monitor).
