Problem with NotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip

Ray Gulliver

Basically the problem is that the following line of code works perfectly on one computer and doesn't appear to do anything on the other (_Icon is a NotifyIcon object). this._Icon.ShowBalloonTip(int.MaxValue, "title", "some text", ToolTipIcon.Info); The computer it works on is running xp professional and the one it doesn't work on is running xp home, but I don't think this should make any difference. Any ideas?

Does your XP home box have SP2 installed, it is required. It is supported by all versions of the framework (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0) and all versions of XP including Media PC but all are required to have this service pack.
