>>I've been using ctl32 balloontips and it's been working fine. I recently had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall everything. Ugh. Anyway, now balloontips won't work. No error, it just doesn't work. Tracing it seems to indicate that I should be seeing a balloontip, but I get nothing. I'm wondering if there is some dependency on something I've not installed. Carlos says it just uses Windows API functions, but perhaps there is a .NET dependency that he has not listed or maybe is not even aware of? I haven't reinstalled .NET, not being sure which version I want to reinstall right now (and since I'm not using it). I believe that's the only difference between the old setup and the new setup. Anybody have any ideas about why this might not be working?

And just to finish off this thread, I'll say that I replied on your site (linked above) and that it was indeed a config setting in the registry on my machine that was disabling balloon tips. Not sure how it was disabled. I didn't knowingly do it. More info on the specifics are available using the link above.
