WinXP & FS2002 : I do Not have the whole FS2002 Window on my screen

[VANHEES]

When I work in Windows mode, then I have a Title bar (Microsoft Flight Simulator and different menu's like Flight, ....) at the top of the screen and a START bar at the bottom of the screen.
My problem is that those bars hide part of my FS2002 and CFS-2 screen. This is rather annoying because therefore I can not see the messages that FS2002, CFS-2 or add-on software displays on top of the screen or below on the screen. (For example the FS2002 messages that the brakes are on. IN CFS-2 the message that you have to start your engines (E))
When I work in full screen mode than I have access to the top and the bottom of the screen and I can see those messages.
This is however not a good solution for me solution as I do not like to work in Full screen mode (If you fave a problem in Full screen mode and FS2002 aborts the programm than you have problems with your desktop. All the icons that I have placed carefully at certain positions are replaced together at other positions)
Does anybody knows if this is A real WinXP problem or if there is a solution other than working in full screen mode

The first part of your problem must be unique to your situation. I have WinXP and everything shows up within the windowed screen, above or below the menus.

You didn't specify what graphics adapter you are using or the revision level of its drivers. Second, what does the system specify for your monitor, Standard monitor or Plug-n-play?

You might need to update your driver for your graphics adapter and let WinXP find your monitor again.
