Default Enable Hover?

When I hover over an image, I used to be able to see the image properties
(such as dimensions etc).

Now, and all of a sudden, I can't seem to get Windows XP to display the
details. This used to work fine. I have ABSOLUTELY no virises, horses etc.
The system has had no updates or other sofware installed.

Alsi, I am th eonly user so no one else has/can change anything.

Help please.

Tools --> Folder Options...
'Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items'...

Pleased - in the future - don't multi-post.
Cross-post if you feel your question belongs in more than one group...

Thanks to all - fixed.

Shenan, I'm not sure what you mean by "Multi-Post?". I posted here and in
another NG, but not more than once here.

Cheers.

You posted the same question in two different newsgroups. If you had
cross-posted it would have appeared in both newsgroups, but answers (if the
responder is setup correctly - does not change defaults) would respond in
both newsgroups.

You reworded the question and added to it in the other newsgroups - but in
general - same question:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...70567301cc783f
and here:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...e7fd585eb8c390

I was just trying to point out that if you wanted to post the same question
in more than one newsgroup - the way to do it that is most effective is to
cross-post. That way you have IDENTICAL questions in more than one
'location' and any help you get will be replicated between the two
locations - possibly bringing more people 'to the party' who would know and
share the answer with you at one time and preventing those who might help
you from seeing the same question as 'unread' as they go from group-to-group
answering questions.
