    I've had similar troubles with Win95b on misc equipment.  What
 seemed to be happening was that the logical desktop area was bigger
 than the physical screen, which is something that you can set up (if
 you so wish) with some screen drivers.  When this is so, you find
 that there are two size-bars in Display -> Settings; make them both
 the same!  And the windows in question had been moved into the
 off-screen area, where you could not get at them.  (I believe that
 this arrangement is supposed to be associated with automatic
 scrolling of the visible section of the desktop when you move the
 mouse to the edge; but ime this often does not work.)

    Do your other program windows display normally?

    Check also that in the settings for the shortcuts you do NOT have
 "start minimized" checked!
