Robin, is it appearing at all? Look carefully after starting the program.
What happens? Does a new icon appear in the notification area (by the
clock)? If yes, double click on that. Does a taskbar button appear? If yes,
right click the button and choose restore. Should also check the properties
of the shortcut for the program to see if it is set for "Normal" window or
minimalized.

Also, you have not mentioned the name of the program. May want to do that.
Someone may recognize it/have it installed and can give you some pointers.
Another thing to try is to check the online tech support pages for the
program to see if this is a known issue with the program.
