    It's a Small Thing, But.......

      Hello,

       

      I've only recently begun using the purchased version of PS CS5, after a while with the trial.  Don't remember if I had the same problem with the trial or not.  Since I didn't notice, likely not.

       

      My problem revolves around the small box that appears whenever the cursor rests on a tool.  At first the icon is highlighted.  After a couple of seconds a small box appears, naming the tool.  For instance, if I rest the cursor on the 3rd icon of the single-column tool palette, the Name Box (for lack of a better term) appears naming the particular Lasso tool selected.  Very helpful for the newbie not yet familiar with the icons.

       

      When I first start CS5, everything works as described above.  However, at some point the Name Box ceases to function.  Maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour after starting.  Everything else seems OK.

       

      Is their some setting or circumstance that causes this?  Has anyone else had a similar experience?

       

      Thanks,
