    No PopUp info in explorer for MP3 files.

    Have used ver 11 for about a year on an XP-Home PC and whenever I hover the mouse pointer over an MP3 I get the wonderful PopUp Info display.

    Just installed V-11, then V11.5 on an XP-Pro machine and nothing I do/did with either version shows the PopUp info.

    I tried the "regsvr32 shmedia.dll" fix, no joy.

    I turned off ZoneAlarm Pro, which can block some programs from starting
    processes, no luck there.

    All the right boxes are checked in dMC configuration [all of them].

    If I slide the column to the right of the filename to the left to truncate a file name, hovering just expands the filename, normal windows function.

    Right clicking on a filename gives me working "Convert To" and "Edit Tag" functionality.

    By searching the forums, I see others have had this probloem but no definitive
    fixes nor any "thank you, that fixed it" posts. I hope to be able to post such a reply.

    Questions ? Just ask.

    Mess with the registry ? no fear here, I'm a PC pro.

    SVP, help me from going crazy before Christmas :komisch9:

    Are you enabling tooltips in folder options?

    Tools > Folder options > View > Show Pop-up description for folder and desktop items

      =============================
      How to fix this problem on XP-PRO:

      Open a Windows Explorer window.

      At the top, choose: Tools > Folder Options > View

      and down near the bottom check the tick box for.

      "Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items"

      Click Apply and all is fixed. :smile2:
