    Hi,

    I used to be able to locate the mouse pointer over a file in Win XP and it would display file size and date.

    This no longer happens when I locate the mouse pointer over a file.

    Does anyone know how to correct this?

    Thanks

    Go to Control Panel>Folder Options>View tab and check "Display file size information in folder tips," click OK.

    If that's already checked, uncheck it, click OK, then go back and check it, click OK. Sometimes toggling an option off then back on will jog it back into working.
