Pop-up hidden

[jimt]

I have enabled the auto-hide feature of the taskbar. On the taskbar if you
rest the mouse over an icon a pop-up window will appear saying what the
particular icon is, i.e. over the IE icon it will say Internet Explorer.
Occasionally, these pop-ups will appear behind the taskbar rather than in
front making them impossible to read. Any known fix for this problem?
Thanks, Jim

Not yet. It's an old WinXP bug which hopefully will be repaired with
the release of SP-2.

Old bug as stated. In the meantime: Under Control
Panel/Display/Appearance/Effects, clear the
Show shadows under menus option and do some reading here:

What is the difference between Minimize All and Show Desktop?
