In fact the tooltips show a tiny rectangular box with no text(may be text too small to read/display within this little box).
Only happen for "Tool box" "Status bar" only, the others OK.

Have you tried applying a different Work Environment to see if that has the same problem?

Or turn the tool tips off and then back on again.

I don't have the problem but then I am not on Vista.

I'm having the exact same problem with the tiny tooltip thing with no words in it. Have you figured out the solution to this yet?

I had the same problem and the cause was having the text size in Windows set at 125%. Setting it back to 100%, tool tips appear. I asked Graphisoft if this is fixable in Archicad. Will post reply

Better late than never ... nearly a week on this exasperating problem and nobody to bring help anywhere.

Brett, YOU REALLY ROCK ... big up for you !!!

Setting the text size in Windows back to 100% is the solution (on a Win7 64 bit + Archicad13 64 bit plateform)
