I just upgraded to Solidwork 2014, and now everytime I try to "Apply a Material", the window that pops up letting me select the material hangs off the screen covered by the task bar. Because it is covered by the Task Bar I can never click "Apply". I am not able to resize this screen or move it. 
How do I fix this? Thanks!!
I have tried all three of those options. Nothing worked. If I hide the task bar the window simply hangs off my screen to where I cannot click apply.
Have you tried moving the Task Pane off to the side?
What laptop are you using, and what graphics card does it have?
Have you run the SolidWorks Rx > Diagnostics tool?
I have not tried to run the diagnostic tool, I will try that and see.
I have a 4 year old Lenovo V570 with Core i5 processor and Intel HD Graphic 3000.

The HD 3000 is almost certainly the cause of the problem, and the diagnostics will probably confirm that it is non-approved.
You could try older or newer drivers and hope for the best.
I got it to work!! For some reason my computer had an option turned on that made my windows "medium" size or 125% larger than they should be. I bumped the size back down to 100% or recommended and it fixed everything!!!
Thanks for the help Kelvin. I know my Graphics are a bit dated. This computer only has to last me 4 more months until graduation. haha Thanks!
You could try changing the screen resolution, or set the Taskbar to Auto-hide.
Did you update the graphics driver after upgrading to SW14?
