Basic Windows feature

I see a blank display box - no content - when I press the cursor against a
text,
footnote, vertical scrollbar, etc. For example, when you scroll through a
document, pressing the cursor against the vertical scroll bar displays your
present location (i.e page) in the document. In my case, the display box
highlight the location but no content is shown- just blank. This is same for
footnotes: Running the cursor through a document a display box appears when
you get to a the number representing a footnote but the display box does not
show any content.- just blank.

Is it possible that the text and background colors are set the same??
That would make any text invisible.

Check here to see if they are set the same...

Right click Desktop | Properties | Appearance tab | Advanced button | Click
the V next to Item to expand the menu | Select: Tooltip | Color 1 | Color

Hope this helps. Let us know.
