All of a sudden my tools are not working. If a start a new file I can use the Text Tool and the Bucket, no other tools are working. If I open a picture then no tools work. What have I done?

Whenever really weird stuff like that happens we usually advise to reset preferences. The following after quitting Elements:

To restore all preferences to their default settings:

In Windows, press and hold Alt+Control+Shift immediately after launching Photoshop Elements. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.

In Mac OS, hold down Option+Command+Shift immediately after launching Photoshop Elements. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.

New preferences files are available the next time you start Photoshop Elements.

Good Luck. Hope that works for you. Let us know.

Tried your suggestion but when I press and hold Alt+Control+Shift I get the Scratch Disk Preferences. Don’t see anything about the settings file.

Got it. Had to do it several times but finally, got it. That did it. Thanks a lot.
