  1. Tooltips not showing, showing black box instead


    When I hover over Min, Max and Close for any program like IE, Outlook, Skype, Windows Explorer. The tooltips are black boxes. It normally shows a text box saying Minimize, Maximize or Close. I am getting black boxes instead...


    Its almost like it is trying but cannot do it for some reason.


    I cant find much information about this doing a Google Search... I thought maybe a driver? Windows update?


    Any ideas

    :)

    Minor suggestion: Change About screen tooltip wording

    Which proves my point. This is the PROGRAMMER/ENCYCLOPEDIAN word for a dialog box window, which does NOT mean users should ever see it in ANY program.
    Link to at least ONE other program that uses the word "dialog" the same way, please?

    EDIT: Another suggestion - now the word "About" and the word "GPU-Z" are duplicated in the two lines of the About tooltip, which is redundant.
    Suggestion: Have the two lines like this instead:
    About GPU-Z
    Show program version info (or maybe "Show GPU-Z version info")
    or maybe "Show program version and copyright info"

    Minor suggestion: Change About screen tooltip wording

    I love how the About screen (logo/brand button) tooltip has an Info icon too, not just a text tooltip.
    However, the 2nd line of the tooltip text says:
    Show the GPU-Z About dialog
    "Dialog" is a programming term, not something all users would understand or be used to.
    So, I suggest for that to be changed, for example to:
    Show the GPU-Z About screen
    (or something similar)

    Thanks in advance for any comments. *Smile Tooltips not showing, showing black box instead :)

    Tooltips not showing in Chrome


    For a while now I've noticed that Chrome isn't showing tooltips anywhere. Either when hovering over links or images. I am not sure what's preventing them from showing.
