try moving your taskbar to the side or the bottom (for just a moment

double click where it says 'itunes'

move taskbar back

That did minimize the screen. I can do that similarly with START BUTTON on keyboard + D. When I click on itunes again it is still maxed and the windows task bar across the top covering the top inch of iTunes.

try going to your desktop, right click, select personalize. a new window will pop up, from here you can select different themes.. try switching to a temp one and see if you can fidget with taskbar options and get the iTunes into full visibility

if that doesnt work..
go to your desktop, right click, select personalize. on the bottom left hand side of the new window there is a section that says See also, under it select display. from here there are two options, smaller (100%) and medium (125%), select 100 if its not already and try again.

reinstall an earlier version

ever get this solved?

Uhhh, if you're using a amd video card, you can use hydravision/hydragrid to attach it to a set area of the desktop.

Right click properties and go to task bar and check the auto hide on and off. Apply that then turn it off again.

I would guess that you have a problem with the Snap feature with Windows Aero.

You can Google how to disable it, but I'll write out a basic explanation.

Open Control Panel > Ease of Access Center > Make the Mouse Easier to Use > Enable Prevent Windows from being automatically arranged....

Now hopefully if you move the task bar like you already previous have, you can resize the window to where you want it and then move the taskbar back to the top edge.

Based on your screenshots, it looks like itunes doesn't recognize that the top portion should link to the Taskbar when its on the upper edge.

I reformatted and haven't installed itunes, so I can't even test any of this, but you might also try running itunes in Compatibility Mode.

Right click the itunes shortcut > Compatibility tab > Check Disable Desktop..., Disable Visual..., Disable Display... (Make sure all 3 are checked)

Then, of course, re-open the program and whatnot.

same for me
