Yeah, I knew about the disabling of Aero, but I didn't think it would resize the taskbar. That's what my main problem is. I remember it doing this also when Vista first came out, but there was a way to keep the game from resizing the taskbar.

I didn't know if anyone remembered or knew the fix for it. I've been out of the game for nearly 4 years now and can't remember it, myself.

Also, yes, I do run in fullscreen mode. I haven't tried running in windowed mode yet, but I will.

Here's the info from the CoH Helper program:

Ok, what I mean is this:

Resized when game launches - http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...ue/resized.jpg

Had to do links since I apparently can't post images yet.

Hi all.

I actually remember this bug from way back during beta, but I remember it being fixed. When the game starts, for some reason, it will resize the Windows Taskbar down to the smallest it can be.

Little back info:
I have dual monitors with the taskbar on the righthand side on the secondary monitor.

I searched and didn't get anything back for this. Any thoughts?
