You can set the taskbar to be always on top or not. It's under properties of task bar.

Go to start -- control panel - start and task bar. should be under there.

Can you press Windows Key + M to minimize all windows, then right-click on a blank area of the Desktop, check Properties and check your Display Setting via Settings?

What type of Monitor are you using, check the manufacturers web site to hopefully find the default display settings for it?
