Buffer Overrun and Tasbar

Does anyone know how to stop the taskbar from hiding itself whenever there is a window open ( it's still there when on desktop).

I also keep getting buffer overruns causing gw to stop, and when i click ok it closes. How do you stop these? My video card is Intel R 945GM Express Chipset Family (built in thing that came with laptop) and i'm running Windows Media Centre.

Thanks

PS:Sorry about double post, use this one if you have anything to help.

to prevent the taskbar form hiding it self, make sure u dont have "Auto-hide taskbar" checked in your taskbar properties.
to check whether you have checked this or not right-click your taskbar and then press properties.
should be a list like:

[] lock the taskbar
[] auto-hide the taskbar
[] keep taskbar on top of other windows
[] group similar taskbar buttons
[] show quick launch

you should NOT have auto-hide the taskbar checked and SHOULD HAVE keep taskbar on top of other windows.

as for your graphics
go to this site

and select your operating system to get the latest drivers.
that may stop the problem.

Thanks for the video card links, figured out the taskbar thing myself ( bit obvious but thought i'd mucked it up permanently while downloading themes)

Hehe it ruined my laptop, when i restarted the screen flicked constantly, but you could see what was behind it.
