Hello,

Some of my tools are not working. I am trying to use tools such as the eraser and the tool looks like an eraser instead of the small circle. I cannot change it to just the regular circle. Whenever I try to use spot healing and the clone, I get a tool that looks like four dashes. I tried using the left and right brackets to enlarge the tool but it doesn't change the size of the brush..
Can some one please help me fix the brushes. Thanks for your help.

First of all, thanks for your immediate response. I took the caps off and the brush tip changed FROM a picture of a eraser to a small cross hair. I tried using the bracket to changed the cross hair to a circle. No matter how I tried to enlarge the cross, it would not change to a circe.
I tried resetting the brushes and still no change.
I did some research in the Elements Village, it seems that this has been a problem for others, but I can't seem to find another solution other than the cap lock.

It seems like I am always having trouble with tools. My system crashed and I had to re-install PSE 5. Since reinstalling, I do not have graphics. The pane is only showing the words of the graphics.

When I double click on a graphic/picture, it opens. But I can not see the picture until I double click on the word. The only option I have is:
1. I can see the word in thumbnail or in a list.

I have searched all over PSE5 to reset tools, but I am not having any luck.

Please recommend help at your earlist opportunity. I have been out of commission, going to college and had a free day today. I thought I could finish up some pictures, but it doesn't seem like I will.

Thanks in advance for any help you or other can provide.
