I''m having a really strange problem: I''m running a DirectX full-screen application that sets the screen resolution to 800x600. When I exit the program, the resolution goes back to whatever it was before running the DirectX app, as expected... But the Windows taskbar doesn''t get restored, and it remains as if the screen was still 800x600. If I right click it and select "Lock the taskbar" or if I click the button to reveal hidden tray bar icons, then the taskbar gets refreshed and returns to normal. I don''t know when this started happening, but it wasn''t happening in the past. The program was tested in several computers, always with the same result. As far as the DirectX debug runtime is concerned I''m not forgetting to release anything... So, any idea why this may be happening? I hope you can help me.

On Windows 98, 2000 and XP the application presents the described behaviour. However, on Windows ME, when the program finishes an error message appears stating "Unkown error".

Any clues?

I sure this must have happened to somebody else before. No suggestions?

That shouldn''t be necessary. DirectX is supposed to take care of it for me. And, to some extent, it does - the desktop goes back to its previous resolution, only the taskbar shows icorrectly...
