I had a similar issue and when I came across this question. My problem was that windows hover time was set to 20s or so (you can test if this is your problem by putting the mouse on a mistake and waiting for a min or so). The registry key "MouseHoverTime" was set to a large value of 200000 ms (normally 400). Fix it by going to start -> run -> "regedit" -> HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelMouse double click "MouseHoverTime" and setting it back to 400.
I think this had been done on my computer a while back to prevent hover popups in another program. Anyway, sorry that my answer doesn t directly apply to this question, but I m hoping it ll help somebody like me that comes across this thread with a similar issue.
