I'm using PSE 2 on my iBook and usually it works fine - BUT - sometimes, like now when I have a deadline, it acts up.

I opened a new document, set a selection box and did edit>stroke, and nothing happened although I could see a faint stroke on the thumbnail. I have the color set to black and stroke 2 px.

I'm trying to set the size for 1/4 page so I can make a 4-up invitation.

I shut down PSE and started again, this time, I can only get the hand cursor!! Clicking on other tools has no effect.

At other times, I've not been able to zoom using the command-spacebar or option-spacebar shortcuts.

What's up, is anyone else having these problems?? I've allowed all the updates to install but this has me befuddled.

Thanks, Margaret

Margaret,

I'm sure someone who knows will post soon, but here's a page regarding the usual bits -- trashing the preferences file, and checking the Caps Lock key. Good luck on your job!

Some Fixes for Photoshop Elements, PShop, etc. (http://graphicssoft.about.com/cs/photoshop/ht/trashprefs.htm)

Thanks CJ, I didn't know about trashing the preferences file from within PSE - that is helpful.

Now that I have PSE working, I need help thinking what to say LOL

Take care, Margaret
