Hi,

On pointing mouse over any icon on system tray or task bar, there comes a tooltip which describes that application.

In my case only partial is visible, the REST goes behind the taskbar itself.
Any idea why this is happening.

Please help.Apparently, you can go to Start > Programs, right-click on a random folder, and go to Sort By Name. This is said to sometimes fix the problem. I have no idea why, but a lot of people offer it as a solution. Of course, if you have your programs LISTED a certain way (like I do), then this might not be ideal.

Other than that, the only thing I can THINK of is going to Start > Taskbar and Start Menu and deselecting Keep the taskbar on top of other windows. Of course, that also isn't a very ideal solution.

Microsoft has known about this problem for awhile (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912650) and they've fixed it for Vista, but not XP for whatever reason. You could download Discover (set it to Automatic) if you don't mind having an extra program in your System Tray.

There's a registry edit out there, but I don't know if it actually works or not. I don't have this problem on my own computer, so I can't really test it.Not working.

A bit of exception here,
Mine is 2003 Server No other CLUE I'm all out of ideas for this one, I'm afraid. I hope someone manages to help you figure this out. If I come across anything, I'll get back to you.
