I want to view a few at a time, but when I click something on one program, the other programs minimize themselves...

Mykas0 is the only one here that even read your question.
Cyberdragon needs to go back to class.
I use five monitors to trade the stock market with, and I have the same problem.
One of my video cards is an nView card, and it came with additonal software to manage multiple screens. Win XP handles multiple screens just fine, except for the problem you stated. The only thing I use the nView software for is that it has an option onthe menu that says "Always on top."
Like Myska0 says, right-click on the blue bar at the top of the window to see if you get a menu of choices. If not, you're outa luck.
You probably need to upgrade your video card anyway, and most of the good ones come with two ports to run two monitors, and the nView (popular with gamers) is a fast and reliable card with extra software that will do what you want.

My best advice for Windows XP is the following...
If you have Windows XP (Home Edition):
Get a new operating system... or maybe even an old one... Windows 2000 was a good one...
If you have Windows XP (Anything else)
There are several ways that you can have the windows easily viewable.
1) Don't click the minimize button 8-)
2)Obtain another moniter and install it to your computer as a secondary moniter. This will give you more screen space for use on your computer, but you may need a video card that supports that feature.

I take it you are using your windows maximized. Click the middle button in the group of three in the top right corner. That will "restore" the window. Actually it toggles between restore and maximized. When is in non-maximized mode you can resize and move the window the way you want. Also you can right click on your taskbar (find an empty spot) and select tile horizontally or vertically. Than you can start maybe resizing from that point. This last 2 command will affect only non-minimized windows. The help file has "Windows Basic" entry in there, go through it.

Sometimes, depending on what program you're using, you can click it's blue bar (on the upper part of the window) and right click, making a "always up" option appear, which you should select.
Be aware that this doesn't work with all programs, only a selected few allow it!
