RE: Windows XP Pro. System Try ToolTip Problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

1. Right-click on an empty area of Taskbar and click on Properties
2. Make a check mark on "Keep the taskbar on the top of other windows"

Hope this help, let us know!

1. Right click the taskbar, choose properties, and uncheck the checkbox that
says "Keep task bar on top of other windows".
2. Click Apply
3. Check the checkbox again.
4. Click Apply again.

This will temporarily make the system work right again, but you will have to
repeat these steps if it happens in the future.

Update: Neosmart has created a small application that will fix this problem.
The only thing is that the application will need to be running all the time,
but if you have this problem often enough, you won't care.

Sorry to say this, "Sort by Name" didn't work for me :(

According to my knowledge, I always use this:

Click Start - point to All Programs - right-click on any Item and choose
Sort by Name. Now, check the Tool Tips and they will appear on front side.

Have heared of it that in the coming Service Pack 3 this bug has also been
fixed?

Hope this help, let us know!
