This is the default mode, and if you install by pressing &#8220;next, next, next&#8221;\u2122 this is what you&#8217;ll get. No further work is needed on your behalf. Automatic mode is the recommended installation option on Windows 9x, Windows 2000, and Windows XP where the original hidden tooltip bug is a daily or even hourly occurrence.<\/p>\n<h4>Standalone Mode<\/h4>\n<p>ToolTipFixer&#8217;s standalone mode (also known as &#8220;manual-invocation&#8221; mode) can be used by more advanced users to provide manual control over when ToolTipFixer corrects tooltip behavior. If you select &#8220;Standalone TTF Module&#8221; as shown in the screenshot above (with or without the automatic option), an executable file <code>ToolTipFixer.exe<\/code> will be installed to <code>C:\\Program Files (x86)\\NeoSmart Technologies\\ToolTipFixer\\ToolTipFixer.exe<\/code> (or whichever path you elected to install TTF to).<\/p>\n<p>You can either manually run this program from the start menu in the <code>NeoSmart Technologies\\ToolTipFixer<\/code> folder when the problem occurs, create a shortcut to this exe and place it on your desktop or quick launch toolbar for easy access, or go the completely nerdy way and map a keyboard shortcut to launch this exe so TTF is never more than a keystroke (or two) away.<\/p>\n<p>Manual-invocation mode is the recommended approach for Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8, where the problem occurs only from time to time.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"footnotes\">\n<ol class=\"footnotes\">\n<li id=\"fn1-802\">\n<p>This is accomplished via a background service consuming virtually no resources.&nbsp;<a href=\"#rf1-802\" class=\"backlink\" title=\"Jump back to footnote 1 in the text.\">&#8617;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ToolTipFixer Installation and Usage ToolTipFixer can be installed and run in one of two modes: &#8220;Set it and forget it&#8221; mode where it&#8217;ll automatically fix the tooltip issues for you, and manual invocation mode where you can run a command-line exe when you need to zap the problem into oblivion.
