Hi,

If you are using Windows 7, you can change how long the tool tips remain visible. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found this. I have mine set to 30 seconds and although I don't think it lasts that long, it does keep the tip up for longer than the five seconds it was originally set for. Maybe someone can suggest where you might find this setting.

I find that I need to click the balloon while the speech is in progress for it 
to work.  This is ridiculous, but I don't know whose fault it is.  Some 
balloons can
be dealt with in other ways, though.  Is there one in particular that you are having 
problems with?  For example, if you get the "Updates are ready to be
installed" balloon, you can go to Windows Update on the system try and get them 
to run.  Virus definition update warnings can be tackled through the
user interface of your virus protection program.  In my case, I have to change 
a password to a wireless network every 90 days that results in needing to
enter it in response to a balloon, and have found no other way to do it.  I 
have to just sit there with my fingers on the keys ready to hit them at the 
first word
of the message.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

    When wanting to click a balloon that's popped up on the desktop in
    Windows 7, the procedure to do this fails every time for me. It's
    not a case of waiting too long before excecuting the command to
    click the balloon, as I do it immediately after the speech
    notification. Pressing insert+numeric plus twice in rapid succession
    should route the mouse to the balloon, but W-E 7.5.1 informs me that
    it's unable to route pointer to tooltip.<br>
    <br>
    My screen resolution is set pretty high, so I doubt whether W-E is
    unable to pick up the desired balloon.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for any suggestions in this regard.<br>
