A colleague of mine recently had her work computer re-imaged. A dialog box or text field appears when she clicks the text tool instead of being able to enter the text normally.

Here’s a screen grab. The text field that appears is circled in yellow. <http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ps7textboxqf9.gif>

This has been happening ever since the box was re-imaged. She’s tried trashing the prefs, but it has not fixed the problem.

Has anyone encountered this and how can it be corrected?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Reinstall? Was the software carried over when the drive was imaged? Maybe better to wipe the applications and start fresh.
