Dafydd, as I mentioned in my first post, my monitor is 22' wide, the native resolution and the one I use is 1680*1050.
PD7 does automatically use fullscreen mode. This is on my home desktop computer.
And, I tried the program on my Lenovo T60 laptop with external 22 monitor, with exactly the same results. I actually tried it on 3 different monitors, the two wide monitors and also a 20 regular monitor. The shape and size of the monitors does not affect the results.
I think that this is a bug in PD7.

Oi! Laverie - don't get to cheeky. Eye kin spel as gud as enywon.

Raphael - it really is very easy to put the task bar at the side - and equally easy to put it back at the bottom. I find, with PD, I need more vertical space than horizontal... but - like you - I have a wide screen.

Cheers - Tony

PS I promise I'll spell Valerie krektly next time.

OK, I have dual monitors. I've an auto config option on my monitors and it works for me - whichever resolution I chose.

I don't consider this a bug.

Please contact tech support, they may be able to assist you further.

Raphael -

Are you sure you don't have the PD window maximised? If you click on the "Restore Down/Maximise" button (beside the close X), you'll know.

Mine used to misbehave but it's good now.

Just a thought - Tony

Guys,
I do have the PD7 window maximized. But both ways, maximized and not, it shows the same problem.
About moving the taskbar to one side - it then blocks the side of PD7. (the right slider gets blocked aswell as the preview screen).
About contacting support: I did and they have no real answer, and the last post asked me to send a screen copy of the error! I get no error... just inconvenience.
OK, thanks to all. never mind. I will use autohide, and remember to cancel autohide before my wife uses the computer (while I am at work).
