Taskbar stays on top even in Full Screen

Hey,

I've been waiting a long time to finally have a computer that can play WFTO. I just got one a few weeks ago, loaded up the game and started to play. But I've found that my taskbar stays there even in a full screen game. I've tried a bunch of things to get it to go away myself but have had no luck so I'm coming here.
What I've done so far:

- Alt-Tabbed out and back in

- Set the game to Windowed and then back to Full Screen

- Shut off Classic Shell

- Uninstalled and reinstalled the game

Does anyone have any suggestions? I can still play the game but it leaves a portion of the screen blacked out and makes it tough to scroll down.
