Rolling Over Icons: Text info won't show.

It is a very silly question and a little weird to explain, but here we
go.

When rolling the mouse over a desktop icon or application toolbar
button I am not seeing the normal text that would pop up if you leave
the mouse hovering over the icon\button for a second or two.

I have mutiple machines that are doing it, but on 1 machine I can't
seem to find a setting anywhere that would turn it off, let alone turn
it back on. I have tried TweakUI, thinking it would have the Mouse
Hover option like PowerToys does, butam still having the issue.

This is a Win2k machine with SP4 and all other updates. I can't really
say for sure when it happened, the user of the PC came to me to fix it
so I am not sure if he installed anything and then it happened or if it
has been happening for a while. I do not see any random software
installed and it has corporate AV and has been checked for spyware.

Anyone ever have an issue like this?
 
Let me clarify one of the sentences:

"I have mutiple machines that are doing it, but on 1 machine I can't
seem to find a setting anywhere that would turn it off, let alone turn
it back on."

Should read more like:

I have multiple mahcines that will show the text, but on the 1 machine
that is having the issue I can't seem to find a setting anywhere that
would turn it off........
