For some reason, the small vertical window to the right of the main color picker window has changed on my copy of PSCS3. My other installation shows bands of various colors red, through yellow, green, blue, and finally red at the top. This way, I can pick an area of color for the larger square window at the left to make my selection. On the copy with the problem the color range is limited. The colors are instead of being the whole spectrum as above, just a limited spectrum around the color selected with the eyedropper.
This may not explain the problem very well, but basically the range of colors that can be selected with the color picker is drastically narrowed. I have a picture, but there is no way to attach it to this forum, but can email it if someone is interested.
Thanks.

Click on the various radio buttons next to H, S, B, R, G, B, etc, and observe how they change the color displayed in the "spectrum" pane.

Thanks. Selecting the H button did the trick.
