Guest ralphs Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 XP Pro, fully up to date with patches When you place the cursor over a quick launch or toolbar icon you get a descriptive tooltip window. After a couple of days these tooltips appear behind the toolbar. You can see the top of them but the message is hidden. How do I get the proper behavior back without rebooting?
Guest Kelly Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Re: Tooltips behind toolbar Suggestions: 1. Go to Start/All Programs: Hover over any program listed, right click and select Sort by Name. Repeat once more. 2. Right-click the Taskbar/Properties, uncheck: Keep the taskbar on top of other windows, apply/ok...

Guest SingaporeWebDesign Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Re: Tooltips behind toolbar Hello, Known Issue - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912650 A workaround is to hover your mouse over the Start button and then to the system tray. Another workaround is to click on Start > Programs > (right-click) > Sort By Name. Yet another is to click on Start > Turn Off > Cancel. But these sometimes don't work.
