Introduction and need a little help.

Hi guys, Old school EQ player here new to Project1999. I decided to come check it out because I've been chasing that first hit of Evercrack for close to 20 years and no other MMORPG has come close to my OG EQ experience, I might just play on the EQ live servers even though it still isn't quite the same it might get by as being "same enough" if not for one single thing. The goddamned boxer infestation that Daybreak just lets slide as long as they pay their bills. It totally compromises the integrity of what the game was meant to be and I just can't stand to see it.

I am having a problem though, the game will only run in a window and my taskbar stays on the bottom of the screen no matter what I do and it's cutting off some of the UI that I need to use. I went into the in-game options and tweaked all the settings appropriately, so I'm running in the correct resolution etc. but when I toggle windowed or fullscreen the screen flashes briefly as though it thinks it's changed but nothing actually does, it always remains running in a window and not even a full screen window, the borders are still there on top and also as I mentioned my taskbar constantly displays on the bottom of the screen. How can I fix this please?
