I can’t get rid of the erase tool cursor. For example, when I pick the crop tool and try to drag a rectangle I end up "erasing" the path that I’m dragging. Or if I select the text tool I still end up with a cursor that erases.

Skip,

As a first step, try resetting "all tool" by clicking on the icon of the tool at the left hand end of the options bar.

Dick,

Since my first msg. I uninstalled & re-installed PE2; no change – still have a round cursor which erases.
I just tried to "reset all" tools per your instruction. Curser changed to a square shape and still doesn’t change when it click on other tools; and still erases.

Hopefully you can come up with another idea for correcting this problem.

Thanks, Skip

Dick,

I accidently discovered a solution!! I routinely use a digitizer (CalComp drawing board III) as my input device. However I was just using my trackball (Kensington turbo ring) to scroll thru the msgs in this forum and dragged the cursor over an open JPG file and the cursor changed (to crop tool)and worked!!

So I guess PE2.0 doesn’t support a wintab device – which is a big disappointment ’cause most of my work is done with the digitizer.

Is it possible to configure PE2.0 to use a digitizer as the input device?
