I just installed the new Nvidia Drivers for my 6800GT GeForce, and noticed
that he taskbar is no longer transparent. The rest of the interface is
working in Aero like the start menu and the window headers and all, just not
the taskbar. Any reason why this may be? Anyone experience this as well. The
only reason I noticed it was because I was changing the color and noticed it
stayed black. Befor it would be transparent until I maximized a window for
which it would go solid. Now it's black all the time and you can't see
through it.
 
I have the 6800GT AGP and installed the 100.65 drivers and the Taskbar is
still transparent. Might play around with your color settings and such and
make sure transparency is on. That or try uninstalling and going to back the
100.64 or older to make sure it works there, then go back to the .65s again

Using a 6800XT PCIE here with the new drivers and the taskbar is transparent
like it was with the default Vista drivers.

Make sure one of your background windows (or even the foreground one)
isn't maximized. I found that the taskbar will go black if _any_ of
them are maximized to full screen.
 
Actually,

It was a coincidence, it was the ITUNES toolbar being enabled, which I did
right before installing the drivers that caused it not to be transparent. I
found this on another website.

It was one of those..... "Oh" moments.
