I’ve been using Photoshop5 for several years. Yeah yeah, I know it’s old, but it does everything I want, and I’d hate to learn a new version. This afternoon I wanted to use the Type tool to type a caption into an image. Before this, the letters always appeared in the picture (a .jpg) as I typed. This time they did not. And the very first character I typed didn’t even show up in the Type window, until I typed a second letter. I scrounged thru PS5 for some option that I’d accidently screwed up, but couldn’t find anything. Grasping at straws, I remembered I’d install a new version of the MicroSoft TweakUI – the powertools thing, recently (I was following a suggestion to get rid of the AutoPlay window when I mounted a drive, it didn’t help). So… I uninstalled TweakUI, without even looking for something that looked like it could have affected PhotoShop. (Oh yes, there appeared to be 2 instances of TweakUI in the AddRemovePrograms list.) Presto, my PS5 Type tool started working. Anyone else ever seen this problem? Know a setting in TweakUI that would cause it?
