Hi Harro,

I checked on my system and had the same result as you. It appears that the
problem has something to do with 'XP Themes' as when you disable the XP
manifest file the tooltips work OK. If you want to try this yourself, just
temporarily rename the file "BlackBox.exe.manifest" in your BlackBox
directory. I googled for various combinations of 'XP', 'manifest',
'toolbar', 'tooltips' etc. and came across many different reports of
glitches with XP and tooltips. I tried a couple of the proposed solutions
without success - hopefully this information might help somebody else to fix
it.

If you are using Windows Vista a quick test indicates that you can fix the
problem by just getting rid of the manifest file. Hopefully that doesn't
have any unwanted side-effects. As far as I know the manifest was just an
interim solution by Microsoft to obtain an updated 'look and feel' in XP.

Regards,
Chris
