Why do I get a + sign cursor instead of a circle cursor in Photoshop Elements 5.0????

Please help somebody! My PSE 5.0 editor program is acting weird. The cursor should be a circle for the clone tool, etc. It appears as a periscope and +sign thing. I cannot see my adjustment of my brush size! It's frustrating. I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it. It is still doing it. Anybody know what I can do? Please and Thank YOU!!!!
Laura

gosh, thanks so much. I actually have been using this software for a  couple of years and it seems like every now and then it does this. I feel stupid, cause I thought I checked that last night.(caps lock)  I was also having some issues with editor blinking and not saving my work. I uninstalled and reinstalled my software and today the cursor is normal. thanks so very much for your help!

    i'm not able to install Photoshop Elements 10 on my new PC. I'm told the serial number is invalid. Why? It has 24 digits separated into 4 digits at a time by hyphens. Am I typing it wrongly?

    i just had same issue.  never installed on old pc which is a window 7 convert from xp.  Now installing on laptop dell win 8, would not accept number. so i decided to install on the win 7 old pc (which has no firewall security because I'm dumping machine)  and it worked.  So I turned off firewall on win 8 machine and it worked.  I had read that  you should turn off the fire wall.  Try that.  Di

  • Why does Elements 12 crash as soon as I open Type tool?  Get message "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred.  Photoshop Elements will now exit.  Using Mac

    Why does Elements 12 crash as soon as I open Type tool?  Get message "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred.  Photoshop Elements will now exit."  Using Mac.  No imported fonts

    Thank you, Barbara.  All fonts seemed fine, no empty or duplicates.  When I went back to Elements and tried again, it did not crash!  After months of not being able to use type tool,,, not sure why it worked, but it did.  Thanks again!  I appreciate the time you took to answer my question.

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • I use 2 to 3 computers for my photo retouching, can I get them activated with the same serial number? for Photoshop Elements 13, and premier elements 13

    I use 2 to 3 computers for my photo retouching, can I get them activated with the same serial number? for Photoshop Elements 13, and premier elements 13

    You can activate any two of them at a time, but if you want to use it on a third computer you will need to deactivate one of them before you can do so. To do that, go to Help>Sign Out.

  • Why must I have Internet access and be logged into Adobe to use Photoshop Elements?

    I can not use Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 unless I have Internet access and log into an Adobe account.  Why?  This means you can't install the software on a laptop and use it while traveling unless you have 100% Internet access throughout your trip.  What a load of .......  Why is this?  I there a way around it?
    Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks Barbara.  I tested it (trust but verify ) and that is the case.  I must have been logging out, and thus deactivating, in my earlier testing.  I agree, bad choice of words or phrasing by Adobe.   Thanks again.

  • How do I get a reinstall on my computer after a crash for photoshop elements?

    Alright so this is what happened, the last time my computer crashed my dad had to restart it because the virus was so bad, he even reinstalled windows and all for me, except when I went to find my Photoshop elements that was included with my deal on my mini hp tord boontjie, I couldnt find it. I must have thrown it out when I moved without realizing it, and I was wondering if its possible to get a reinstall of this product because im not willing to pay that much for photoshop elements. If anyone could help me on this issue, i would be very glad. Thanks in advance.

    It didnt come on the computer, it was in a seperate box inside the same box, so you had to upload it on there with a memory card, im asking about the photoshop elements, if its possible to recover that, because the only reason I bought the laptop was for the photoshop included in the deal..

  • Why do I get "Missing signed entry" error?

    I am distributing jar files that have been signed (by thawte). Sometimes, a certain build will throw up a "Missing signed entry" error when I try to launch the jnlp file.
    Why does this happen?
    I used add/remove programs (on Windows) to delete the cache.
    I am really puzzled by this.
    Anyone knows why?
    thanks,

  • When I select "Pair a device" why do I get another pairing code instead of a box to enter the code I already got on my mobile?

    I'm trying to set up Firefox Sync between my Android and my desktop(Windows 7). When I select "Pair a device"(on the home screen on the desktop system) I just get another screen with a code like the one I got on my phone already(no, the codes don't match). I've tried this several times and the results are always the same.
    I'm using Firefox version 10.0.2 on the desktop(and I think that's what it is on my phone as well), and my phone is a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch

    Hi!
    This is certainly unusual. I'm trying to replicate it and I'm completely unsuccesful.
    Are you using the steps described in this article? [[How do I sync Firefox between my desktop and mobile?]]
    Are you clicking the "Pair a device" link at the bottom of the "about:home" page? (i.e. type "about:home" in your address bar)
    I will suggest you another process but I'm curious why you are hitting on this roadblock.

  • Why do I get two CD showing instead of one copied to ITunes

    For some CD copied to ITunes I sometime get them split into two or more. I found that If I change the information of the CD so that it is exactly the same for all the tracks the problem is resolved. But sometime it dos not work and I cannot find why. Is there a possibility to remedy this. This has happened fairly recently, probably since upgrading to newer versions of ITunes. I'a using version 11.1.3 (8)

    I seem to have the correct tags (see below) and yet I cannot have this under one disk.

  • TS2551 Why do I get exclamation sign when I click to Iphoto pics?

    I am having problem opening my photos from Iphoto, when i dooble click exclamation sign comes up why?
    any help would be appreciated.

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
