    I have a fresh install of PDM 4.0 3810 w a fresh install OS X 10.5.6 and a fresh install of Win 7 x64. The Win 7 taskbar doesnt seem to operate properly. When using Win 7 full screen view the Win 7 task bar is obscured by the Windows application,e.g., firefox, window. Thus i cant access the taskbar. I can grab the windows bottom edge and adjust it upwards to reveal the task bar but if i expand the window fully it again covers the taskbar.

    Moreover, sometimes when I switch back and forth between PDM and OS x the OS X dock obscures the Win 7 taskbar (and the PDM menu bar remains visible at top of screen) even though Full Screen View is selected. Clicking on the Windows desktop does not correct this. Though this only happens sometimes.

    Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround or configuration parameter Ive overlooked?

    Hi, macsR4hipstasheep,

    Thank you for problem description, you see, Windows 7 is supported only experimentally, Microsoft did not even publish an RC.
    Actually, there is a known bug in x64 version, it appears on physical machines a well:

    So, let us wait unless some stable release is issued.
