SP 3 anomaly #2

Since updating to SP 3 I have noticed the Info Tips behind Taskbar fix--click
Start, click All Programs, right-click any program and select Sort By Name no
longer works. I have rebooted my computer 3 times since I updated so that
will fix the problem temporarily until the Info Tips hide behind the Taskbar
again in which case they stay there until I reboot. It's not that big of a
deal, I mean I'm not going to remove SP 3 because of this. Anyone else notice
this on their computer?

Been getting it occasionally for years. Well pre SP3 and almost certainly
pre SP2.

You are aware that those with drop down menus are separated from those
without dropdowns??????

No it doesn't matter. Just trying to further define your problem. I have SP3
and the sort function still works.
Can you define Info Tips?

When hovering over an icon in the notificaton tray the little box that pops
up.
Ex.If you hover your mouse over the clock the day and date is displayed in a
pop-up.
Only on my computer they now pop-up Behind the Taskbar. And the way to
fix-it which i outlined in my first post no longer works.post SP 3.

Previous to SP3, I had that happen sometimes and used the sort fix.
Since installing SP3, have not had the problem - they no longer hide.
