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.

Try to set a work environment and tooltip 0n-off but no luck.
This problem only happen in Windows_Vista in Windows_XP is OK.
A friend of mind also receive a same problem and dont know what to do.
I am a new user and try to experience ArchiCAD and now start boring.

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?
