Yes, I meant Caps Lock. That is usually the problem.

Is it in Preferences?

If the Caps Lock wasn’t the culprit, it could be that you changed the preferences somehow. Are you suggesting that you didn’t even check that first before asking here?…

If your caps lock key is not engaged and you still get the precise cursor, try dumping your Prefs:

To restore all preferences to their default settings:

Do one of the following:

a.. Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) immediately after launching Photoshop or ImageReady. You will be prompted to delete the current settings.
b.. In Mac OS, open the Preferences folder in the System Folder (Mac OS
9.x) or Library folder (Mac OS X), and drag the Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Settings
folder to the Trash.
New Preferences files will be created the next time you start Photoshop or ImageReady

Thanks. That’s got it back. I’ll now reset the prefs and be off again.

Thanks to veryone for the help

A good thing to do is set your prefs the way you want them and then copy the prefs file and paste it into a folder somewhere else on your hard drive. The next time they become corrupt, just copy and paste the copy back into your Photoshop folder and overwrite the corrupt file.
