    Is there a fix???

    maybe I'm picky, but this is fu**ing starting to bug me, whenever you move your cursor over the time in your systray it should come up w/ a tooltip showing the corresponding day and date, ok that it does, but I keep finding that it always seems to want to pop up behind the taskbar, making it unviewable, so then I have to right-click the taskbar, click properties and then deselect "keep the taskbar on top of other windows" then hit apply then I have to go back into the properties and reselect it inorder for my taskbar to stay on the bottom when I maximize windows, I keep having to do this like every 5 minutes it seems, does anyone know why it does this, it seems like common sense that it shouldn't do this, is there a fix??

    i do not have that problem. i dunno. windows is filled with quirks. like, why has ie6 started to say "shortcut to _____ at _______"...

    its windows. you could try googling 'tclock'. i used to use it, it was nice, you could customize the tooltips and everything

    True, I don't even know what your talking about w/ the IE6 thing, but as far as googling, I shouldn't have to install more crap to show me what should already be viewable, LoL, O well

    I've had trouble with the default windows clock myself, the solution I have found was to get an add on clock for my sys tray, which is basically crap but it does the job.
    My current setup stats (like anyone cares...):

    ASUS A8N32-SLI Motherboard
    AMD 4400+ Dual-Core CPU
    Windows Vista (Ultimate 32bit)
    2 GB (2x1GB) Corsair XMS RAM
    2x250 GB (in RAID 0) HDDs
    EVGA GeForce 7950 GTX 512 MB
    Creative X-FI Fatal1ty XtremeGamer

    Also sporting a black MacBook
    Revision/Release 1
    Upgraded to 2GB RAM.

    this has nothing to do with what you said, but i love your avatar. it inspires me. to go onto osx, open up the terminal, and take a screenshot of that. some time soon...

    Try rebooting windows, after a day or two of running apps heavily, it tends to do that to me, a restart fixes the problem
