Bug In Windows98SE

[myelin]

My computer has:

1. Microsoft Windows98SE

2. Unofficial service pack 2.1a

3. Windows98SE2ME

Is this a bug? Is it caused by any of the above packages because i have just installed 98SE2ME, but i do not remember it being like that before i installed it . Any comments would be helpful.

OK Start button

OK Open browser

OK Running programs

What's wrong with these screenshots ?

You might need to rebuild the icon cache if any icons are wrong/disorted.

The tool tip for the quick launch buttons appear behind the task bar.

Ive noticed that too on a fresh install of 98se.

If you installed 98SE2ME option 3, that might do this [?], but not sure.

98SE2ME option 3 installs these files from WinME CABs:

Strangely, i restarted my computer and the quick launch tool tip became fixed itself.

It's old bug. When it happens again, click somewhere else to change the focus, then point at the icon again. Usually this works.

Happens on XP too. Click somewhere on the taskbar to 'focus' it first.
