The taskbar (on both machines) is in the "unlocked" but fixed position on the bottom of the display. Both machines have the same version of DirectX (4.09.0000.0904) and oddly enough the laptop has the same debug version file and two other files that are debug versions the desktop doesn't have (the desktop has those files as retail versions). The laptop has the NVidia GeForce FX Go5200 (64mb) as a video card.

For full screen, the task bar has no relevance.

You mentioned a "wide screen" monitor. It may well be that the drivers for that screen will not handle a DirectX full screen mode higher than 1024 by 768.

Try running the attached DirectX capabilities viewer -
DirectDraw devices/primary display driver (display)\video modes

if there is a distinct lack of anything > 1024X768x8 then your drivers don't support the modes shown on the gameoptions set-up.
