Disappearing bounding box Redux

On June 3, a fellow user posted a tale of disappearing bounding box. The solution was simple: toggle the show/hide options on the menu. Unfortunately, though I can see the bounding box itself just fine, I am not even being offered the option to show/hide bounding box handles ... any suggestions?

Last post should read:
Do you have show bounding box checked in the options bar with the move tool selected?

Hi guys,

Am having a similar problem put my bounding box isn't there and I need it to be!!

How to I make it appear??

Cheers,

Andy
