    When I maximize a program's window, it isn't filling the entire top of my screen. Anyone know why? Chrome, Steam, Skype ... it doesn't matter what program I have open, there's a tiny band of my desktop at the top of the screen. Here's a picture of it.

    I've never had this happen with any other computer before, and I can't find anything in the settings that would fix this. Is it something with the M14x, or is it a standard setting I'm overlooking?

    You need to go into task manager and end Toaster.exe I think

    That did it! Thanks man.

    Apparently it's part of Alien Respawn. Good to know.

    I did a couple of forum searches, but I must not have been using the right words. :)
