Weird problem...

[flight doc89]

something stupid, when i hover my mouse over any of the icons in the lower-right corner, the popup box comes up behind the taskbar.

 

see attachment to see what i mean.

 

any idea how to fix it, so i can actually read these thing?

 

thanks!

Right click on the taskbar, go to properties. Untick "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows"

 

[flight doc89]

well, that sorta fixed it, until i maximize a window

 

i rechecked the box, but now the popups are back in front :shrug:

oh well, its fixed. thanks!

[centy]

Any time

Hey - thanks for that. It's been p*ssing me off for a while, that.

You're right flight_doc89, I unchecked/rechecked the box and now my tooltip popups are above the taskbar :shrugs:

 

EDIT: Oh no, I forgot to recheck lol.

[flight doc89]

aww damnit, stupid computer....

unchecked, rechecked and that fixed it....for like ten minutes......:confused:

 

stupid windows

 

oh well, my taskbar is more important than tooltips, i guess i'll just get over it

It's spelled "weird" by the way. I know it's usually i before e except after c, so a good way to remember this is that it's literally spelled weird. :tooth:

 

When's the last time you reinstalled windows?

[flight doc89]

a year since reinstall (stupid windows crashed during an update, and windows wouldnt boot at all after that till i reinstalled ), prolly over two since reformat (that is coming soon, but i'm still saving movies, etc to dvd's)

I've probably gone longer than that (not that I don't desperately need to), but it might help in your case. Out of curiosity, does reinstalling without reformatting keep your personal settings?

[ReelFiles]

It's basically just doing a repair install and should keep all, or most of your settings.

 

I've had that problem on and off with the tray notifications, a restart makes it go away for me. I think it might happen after explorer.exe crashes and restarts, not sure though.
