Have you enabled "Reduced Height Windows" in the options bar at game-start? Even the "Reduced Height Windows" have a certain minimum resolution requirement, though... of your screen is only 768 pixels high, they probably won't fit at that resolution.

You know, mine often don't fit even with the option clicked.  I think theres a user-end glitch.

I always have to change my resolution to something awkward.  I'd play a lot more if not for that...

If your resolution is on the brink, consider using "auto-hide" for the Windows taskbar. Right-click on it, select properties, tick "auto-hide" and enjoy the bottom row of buttons now visible.

You can also set up an extended screen. If you place the second screen above the first, then you can move your windows up higher in order to see the bottom buttons. It gets a little tricky because then you have to find the grab-bar (which is off the screen that you can see) so then you can move the bar back down again. I have 1280x800, and I've the same problem.

And yeah, definitely autohide the taskbar.
