This one should work on all versions since Windows 95 and NT 4.0, but
not all menu items have help text and those that do display the tooltips
after some delay, so to make sure, please try the following:

1. Open the File menu.
2. Move the mouse down to point to "Visit New File...    (C-x C-f)"
3. Do not move the mouse for 10 seconds

These ones have been fixed just recently, confirmed on Windows ME.

You mean you do get it from the menu, but not from S-mouse-1?
Perhaps your .emacs is getting in the way, what does C-h k S-mouse-1 say?
