Excel comments not displaying

I have excel 2016, and the comments have been working fine.  Just recently it does not display comments when I mouse over them. The show/hide command in the review tab is greyed out.  I never had this problem before, and never had to see if the comment show/hide feature was active or not.

    Thanks faysalMCC, I checked the settings you provided, and the radio button was already selected.  I de-selected it, and re-selected it, selected ok, and the situation is the same.  I can read the comments when I RMB and select show/hide, but they are always visible.  The mouse over functionality has always been working fine until I just noticed it this morning.  Any other thoughts???
