Suddenly I cannot get the date to appear when I place my cursor on the time of day.?

Question

I have always been able to place my cursor in the lower right corner of screen on the time, and the date would appear. For instance, place cursor on 9:30 a.m, and above it would appear the date, June 23. Now, I can just barely see the top of it, not near enought to see the date. How do I fix this? I have WindowsXP.
