My message bubbles are crazy
every once in a while the message bubbles for my taskbar clock and other
icons next to the clock show up behind the taskbar so I can't see the message. this just started happening today... I have no idea what causes it to do that. It has happened before but I don't know what I did to fix it. any suggestions |

This is just another of those unique "quirks" that belong to Windows XP, of which
there are many. It seems to happen when you have recently made the Windows Taskbar the "focus" - that is - if we were talking about a normal "Window" belonging to an application, then it would be like "bringing it to the front". This makes the balloon message appear behind the Taskbar. Microsoft's solution is to logoff / logon again - this seems like "overkill" to me as doing this doesn't "cure" the problem - just "resets" the Taskbar at the "front" again, but still susceptible to the same occurrence of making it the "focus" again. It's just yet another case of something else in XP that you have to "put up with". However, I am still a fan of XPs despite all it's quirks! == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "Shep" wrote in message ... every once in a while the message bubbles for my taskbar clock and other icons next to the clock show up behind the taskbar so I can't see the message. this just started happening today...
