Sooo frustrating!
No matter whatever my mouse pointer glides over in any active window,
there are INCESSANT popups telling me something about whatever word I
touched or glided over.
When I want information, I ASK FOR IT with a right-side mouse click!

Can anyone tell me if this is a Vista (mal)feature and how I can have
things MY WAY and stop this information vomit?

Is this in IE only or across the whole OS?

If it's in IE only then it's probably Intellitxt, Kontera or similar
Adware garbage...

Add

*.kontera.com
*.vibrantmedia.com
*.us.intellitxt.com
*.uk.intellitxt.com
http://ctxt.tribalfusion.com


And to block LiveMail ads

http://*.rad.*.com
http://rad.msn.com
http://*.rad.msn.com
http://rad.live.com
http://*.rad.live.com

to either your hosts file or block them in IE using Tools, Internet
Option, Security, Restricted Sites.

Hello, Frank. Thank you for the solution to my 'tooltip' issue. Your
solution in regedit is exactly what I needed.
The world is a beautiful place — again!
