windows pop-up partially hidden behind the toolbar

[alexrpeters]

On the toolbar you can normally point the arrow onto the icons next to
the clock (eg, "volume" or "windows messenger")

However the yellow pop up text box is partially obscured by the
taskbar! I've never seen this before.

Is there anyway to force the popup to sit on top of the toolbar so that
I can see the text clearly (it is intensely frustrating to see the top
of the yellow popup but no text, especially when I am wanting to see
how much battery time is left)

Any help gratefully received

Alex

I suppose you could right-click on the toolbar, go to properties and uncheck
the mark in "Keep the Taskbar on top of other windows".

From what I've read about this issue, it appears to be one of those little
weirdnesses that manifests in certain configurations, unfortunately. You may
have the same problem with the Quick Lauch toolbar. I have not come across a
fix or workaround. May this be your worst problem with XP ;-)

rc the task bar, choose "properties", and deselect "keep the taskbar on top
of other windows"
