Some icons not clickable in the task bar

The problem is that when I minimize my applications to the task bar I cannot un minimize the application from the task bar. Some icon I can but not all. Reboot only fixes the problem for some minutes to hours. I have deleted my profile and reimage my pc. The problem comes back. This is a domain enviroment, windows 7 workstation. The video drivers are updated. any suggestions.

What I just found out is that if I have two of the same applications minimized to the task bar, when I click on the minimized application, the application will not open or preview. When this happen the work around is to right click the task bar>properties>taskbar buttons>select never combine. Yes I am running two monitors and they both work. I have even changed the home screen and resolution and still a no go. Just the solution previous solution works.
Even when I try the solutions above, I can get the windows back but when I minimize the windows the icons go back to a frozen state. The issue will be at the taskbar. Any more suggestions. The work around that I have explained in my previous comment works the best. But I still need the taskbar button fixed. Reimage did not work. Is it a windows update like a .net framework security patch?
I do not have any further suggestions except perhaps it is related to the Aero desktop settings? This is a long shot but perhaps disabling and re-enabling the Aero desktop will work?
Still an ongoing problem. This maybe a roaming profile issue.
