Changing Win7 taskbar position messes up screen?

Thanks Don/Andy,
Interesting problem.
Using your recommended settings I continue to get the diagonal tearing on desktop res (1680x1040) on the external monitor, as so:

I can run it on the laptop with no external at desktop res (1366x768) just fine. I can even plug in the external mid-game and it runs fine on the External (which is the default display if available) though still at 1366x768.
Exit and restart the game with the default setup though, and I get the diagonal mess again.

Odd, because when I originally set it up on the new laptop it worked flawlessly with the dual setup from the start, and until I decided to move the task bar to the top position.


Its not a major problem and I can live without the desktop res (though it is particularly sweet!), but I thought you guys would want to know.
