 |
|
I recently bought a new computer about 6 months ago and installed Photoshop on it a few days after buying it. Everything was working normally and then suddenly yesterday all my tools stopped working. Heres what is going on with the tools:
Brush Tool: I can only click and it will draw but i cant hold/drag and draw
Eraser Tool: I can only click and it will erase but i cant hold/drag and erase
Crop tool: I cant adjust the sides or how much i want to crop (even in classic mode)
All other tools: I can't hold and use them
I cant even right click. So I have tried reinstalling several times and I have even tried CS5 demo. But the same problem still exists. In Microsoft Office Word i cant highlight anything. Whats going on? Can it be resolved? Is it my brand new Windows 8 computer? Photoshop works on my other computer. |

Have you tried resetting your preference file?
Hold Ctrl+Shift+Alt - whilst opening Photoshop (keep them held) it should give you an option to bin the Pref. file. Do so.
Better?
If not other things like OS, viruses, conflicting software/hardware, Windoze 8 and other factors have to be considered.

nope that didn't work I thought it did but thats what Photoshop does. It launches fine for about 20-30 seconds sometimes but then the same problem occurs |
