Task Bar does not show open windows

My Windows XP taskbar does not show my open program windows. Once I
minimize I have no way to maximize or close them. I think they may be
behind the task bar, but I am not sure.

I am running a Dell 8400, with a 3.0 GHz processor, and 2 GB of RAM. The
Start Menu Properties dialog was checked and changes made but nothing
worked. It is locked, on top, and has the quick launch activated.

Can anyone please suggest what I can do to regain access to the open
programs temporary buttons on bottom row of the taskbar?

Point at a blank space on the taskbar, and drag it to the side of the screen.
Your settings on the monitor probably casts the bottom too low. There are
usually physical buttons on a monitor to adjust the width and height.

Give this a try..

The problem in the Subject line? Try this:

Line 240. Programs Aren't Minimized in the Taskbar
