I guess that you're running on windows.
One possibility is that you saved the stacks or their location while they
were minimised. In this state the location of the stack is offscreen and is
a negative number, so while you can click the button in the taskbar nothing
will appear.
to remedy this, open the message box and enter:

set the loc of stack "yourstacknamehere" to the screenloc

it may reappear immediately, but if not click the taskbar button.

If it still doesn't appear I'm out of ideas
