Issue

When hovering the mouse cursor over the bang (!) icon in Continuum Explorer, the tooltip does not display any information indicating the issue.

Product Line

Andover Continuum

Environment

• ACX57xx
• Windows 7

Cause

Windows 7 may suppress tooltip display for certain UI elements, including the bang indicators in Continuum Explorer.

Resolution

To enable tooltips when hovering over the bang icon, modify the Windows Registry as follows:

⚠️ Important: Always back up the registry before making any changes.

1. Open the Registry Editor (regedit).
2. Navigate to the following path:

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

3. Locate or create the following DWORD value:

   • Value Name: ShowInfoTip

   • Data Type: REG_DWORD

   • Value Data:

     • 0 – Tooltips Disabled

     • 1 – Tooltips Enabled

4. Set the value to 1 to enable tooltips.

5. Exit the Registry Editor.

6. Reboot the system to apply the changes.

Additional Notes

• This registry setting controls tooltip visibility system-wide, not just in Continuum Explorer.
• If tooltips still do not appear after rebooting, verify that no group policies or third-party software are overriding this setting.
