Tooltips show up behind taskbar

If I hold my mouse over something in the tray, like the clock its little label thingy shows up behind the taskbar, thus keeping me from seeing it. Every once in a while, it'll show it in front, but most of the time, behind. I can never tell which way it's gonna be. How can I make it show stuff in front all the time?

 

shadowhawk--Happens to me (Win98) very seldomly. Next reboot things are back to normal.

 

Another one of those nice "features" Bill forgot to tell us about...

 

This happens on my daughters puter too. I found that if I went into the properties of the taskbar (right click on taskbar and choose properties) and unchecked the line that says "keep the taskbar on top of other windows" , the problem went away. I could go back and recheck the line and things would stay the way they were supposed to. It's not really a fix but you can avoid having to reboot if it works for you.

 

Hey! That seems to be doing the trick! I'll letcha know if it keeps working. Thanks Zander.
