Taskbar visible while running fullscreen

Hi,
while trying Cloudburst the taskbar was always visible.
At first I thought it was a window blinds problem, so I unloaded WB. But still:
I then moved it to the bottom
I then tried the Think Tanks T3D game and the default t2d sdk install and had the same effect.
I'm using WinXP Home (v2002) SP2, gfx card is a geforceTi4200.
Any help would be appreciated.

I still have a visible taskbar with nView. If I disable nView the the taskbar shows up only a brief second while the gaping wolf logo is showing and then disappears.

Warcraft III and Enter the Matrix do the same for me, where the TaskBar shows up momentarily. I also generally get some problems with Yahoo Messenger when a message comes in. Sometimes the notification doesn't show on the screen but causes a noticable slowdown nevertheless.
The interesting thing is that I don't get this at all with Windows 2000 on my other PC.
Does it make any difference with OpenGL/D3D? Doesn't over here.

David has now made the update to CloudBurst. I'd be interested to see if it solves the problem on your machine, maybe with/without nVidia/dualView(clone) on.
