One of our WIN95 computers stopped displaying opened/minimized programs on the taskbar. When a program is opened and you minimize it, the program does not appear on the taskbar. Can you please tell me what I need to do to the computer to show all opened/minimized programs on taskbar again?

Always on top and show clock is selected in taskbar properties.

This is apparently caused by a trojan called FriendGreeting. Read about it here:

Using add/remove programs, uninstall "WinSrv Reg", update your virus definitions and run a full scan

i have seen video drivers cause this.
Verify it is not a trojan/virus then reload or update the video drivers. You might have to reseat the video card (assume it is not onboard) after cleaning the edge connectors.
