Then perhaps you made some local changes on those Windows systems,
which modify the way the windows are managed.  I've never seen such a
problem in years.

What happens if you invoke Emacs in some other way, like type
"runemacs RET" on the cmd command line or from the Start->Run dialog,
or click on a desktop shortcut to runemacs?  What happens when you
invoke emacs.exe instead of runemacs.exe?
