SYMPTOMS

When you place the mouse pointer over the toolbar in a Windows-based program, it may take three seconds or more for the tooltip to appear.

CAUSE

The timing for tooltips is based on the Double-Click Speed setting in Windows 95. This setting is a system-wide feature affecting all Windows- based programs.

RESOLUTION

To change the double-click time in Windows 95, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double- click Mouse.
  2. Click the Buttons tab.
  3. Move the Double-Click Speed slider to the setting you want.
  4. Click OK.

MORE INFORMATION

The Double-Click Speed setting also determines the rate at which you scroll though a document using the scroll bars.
