How to ENABLE Notification Area Balloon Tips

Using Vista Business. When I initially start up, I have Notification Area
Balloon Tips. After a while, although the icons in the Notification Area
still show (e.g. antivirus program, internet connection etc.) the actual
Balloon Tips no longer activate. Unlike many others, I find these text
balloons useful rather than irritating. Is there some way to insure that
they show up? Thanks in advance.

That option is already checked to enable. Good thought, but not the solution.

Ok Piersden,

Here is a link for you that you can use as a guide for the second link which is a list of all the balloon tips.

Enable/Disable Notification Area Balloon Tips

All balloon tips listed. Most are titled for disable. To enable just reverse the value they show on the how to disable. EX: If value = 0 then change to 1, if value = 1 then change to 0.

Configure whether to display balloon tips | Desktop | Smallvoid.com

Let me know how it goes so I can update the original link on pop-ups to include these to.
