If you're referring to not seeing tooltips when you hover your mouse over something just restart your computer and they will reappear, something to do with microsoft and leaving your computer on for extended periods of time the function stops working.

EverQuest stores the result of GetTickCount() in a signed 32-bit integer.
24.86 days after booting your PC this overflows and wraps around, going negative.
