I have Visual Studio 2010 and I have installed the Productivity PowerTools.

Visual Studio QuickInfo is hiding Power Tools interactive tooltips: When I hover over the a variable I get 2 tooltips, and the one from Visual Studio is covering up the PowerTools interactive tooltip.

How can I turn off the Visual Studio tooltip?

I had exactly the same problem and I solved it by using the little Visual Studio extension Noah Richards posted as an answer in this question Just download the DisableQuickInfo.vsix file and install it. The tooltips (or quickinfo as they are called) should be gone.

You need to change the extension on the file from .zip to .vsix –  leem May 27 '11 at 12:50
    
It would be great if someone could update this for VS2012 (I have the extension mentioned installed, and it doesn't work) –  PandaWood Mar 24 '14 at 23:28
