Maybe cause I use a 64bit OS, but 23 days hasn't broke it yet.

Correct this is really a 32bit OS issue.

Have you rebooted recently?

I believe this is an issue with Windows rather than EverQuest. If you leave your PC on for a long period of time the system no longer will run the popups (if I remember correctly its something to do with 32 bit number in seconds or some such). Its an old bug that still pops up now and again.

This recently happened to a friend of mine and we never could figure it out. Then it happened to me recently as well. I shutdown my computer every night.

The problem is that with Windows 8, Shutdown is not the same as Restart. So you have to specifically tell Windows 8 to Restart.

No. I'm running Win8 and Shutdown always works for this... but sometimes it takes more than one. Shutdown does everything a restart does, and then some (like removing power to the busses and clearing RAM). Restart is inferior.

And sometimes it won't fix until I install some pending Windows updates.

And lately, I've noticed the tooltips don't work with the ALT key until I mouseover the window.
