Hi,

This generally has to do with display drivers. In the meantime restore the
Taskbar and Desktop to default:

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
