Date not appearing when hovering mouse over clock in sys tray
 

For some reason when I hover the mouse over the clock, or any other icon in
the system notification area boxes no longer appear. I have a P4 3.2gig
running XP home.

Is there a setting somewhere to bring the function back?

You can also set how long a hover is with power toys

That would be with Tweak UI of course.

XP here too and I lose the balloon that shows the date about once a day.
<grrr> I can get the balloon back by right-clicking, bringing up the
adjust date/time box and closing it again. dunno it that will work for
you too. . .
