Hidden tooltips
Hi
I have upgraded my laptop to Windows 2000, and I have something strange happening with my tooltips on the Taskbar. When I place the mouse (regular icon) over the Quicklaunch area of the task bar I get the yellow tooltip showing. The same happens when I place it over the icons in the System Tray part of the Taskbar. However, when I place the mouse over the clock or the Taskbar (middle area) the tooltip is hidden behind the Taskbar. If the mouse is on the upper part of this, you can just see the top of the tooltip. Why can I see part of them only...?
Thanks

Have you tried dragging your taskbar to the top of the screen, play with the tooltips and the drag it back to the bottom?

Yeap, and it made no difference...

csmcm,
Just so you know, you can "listen" by clicking on the subscribe button on the bottom. That makes sure you are updated by e-mail of all comments without adding extra comments to the thread. I just wanted to let you know since I just found this feature myself..

Thanks, jmiller47.
I've also discovered something here:
Land on the E-E site, login, then search for
your own username.
Amazing, but I've even found points waiting for me,
which I didn't know about.

Hi
Not quite an answer but provides some good pointers. It seems that the problem is intermittent so somewhere I maybe have a program which is messing things up.
Just thought I'd close this really, thanks csmcm for reminding me! :-)
