[SOLVED] EVGA GeForce 6200 Display Problem

corndale · 07-03-2009, 07:06 PM

I just purchased a EVGA GeForce 6200 256 mb DVI/VGA video card. Changed the BIOS to AUTO for the graphics, installed the card, connected the DVI cable & booted up. It booted into Windows XP. Display quality is as expected. However, my Taskbar at the bottom of the screen does not appear. I changed the resolution up & down and still no Taskbar. I tried to adjust the screen both in the NVidia Control Panel and with the Dell S1909WX controls, with no success. Also, the Start key on my keyboard does not bring up the Start button on the screen. That's odd. Therefore, I cannot access any programs the normal way. My desktop only has the Recycle icon - I like to keep a clean desktop. I can access the web and certain programs by using the shortcut keys on my keyboard. I shut down using Windows Task Manager, connected the monitor to the video card with a VGA cable, booted up, and got the same result. Frustrated to say the least. My limited opinion is that this problem may have something to do with the way the video card is displaying the image on this widescreen monitor. I appreciate any help anyone can give to resolve this problem. I dread going back to the on-board video chip. Thanks.

Well everyone-I found my solution to the Taskbar missing problem by downloading a small program called Repair Taskbar: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-x...ort/720135.htm Worked like a charm. My Taskbar is restored. I shut down, connected by DVI cable, and am up and running. What an adventure. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
