tooltip display

[y offs et]

I'm using win98SE and it is now 2007. A developing application I use finds
conflict with the tooltip display feature and crashes when Windows tries to
display a tooltip message. I would like to disable tooltip messages if I
can. I can get along without them. Does anyone know how to do this?

Have a look at the Registry settings described here:
http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/963/
and
http://www.activewin.com/tips/reg/interface_1.shtml
and

Also, try Nirsoft's Shell Extension Viewer to disable 3rd-party shell
integration that may have this effect.
