Hello Chris,

many thanks for the hint, the tooltips really appear after renaming
BlackBox.exe.manifest.
But there is something mysterious about this. In BB 1.5 exactly the same
BlackBox.exe.manifest file exists in exactly the same directory (and it is
not renamed) but there the tooltips appear nevertheless.
So, has something changed in the transition from BB 1.5 to BB 1.6 that
influences this behaviour and if so, what might it be?

Greetings
Harro
