Hello, I’m having some trouble with my mouse controls when using Photoshop, and I hope that someone here can help me out.
I have searched as much as can, (Withought my tiny mind going bonkers.) and I haven’t come up with anything remotely similar to my problem.
I have provided all the information that the FAQ suggested I provide. (Though I don’t believe any of it is revelent to my problem except the version of Photoshop.)
My version of Adobe Photoshop I am running is: 7.0
I am using Windows XP Pro with service Pack 2
I have 1024MB’s of RAM installed.
I have 24.5GB’s of free disk space.
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS
The precise symptoms of my problem are as follows:
This is not some bug or error, this problem is largely user malfunction.
Under normal circumstances, when using the paint bucket tool, I would be able to access both the "foreground" and "background" color selections with the left and right mouse buttons respectively. Meaning that if I used the paint bucket and pressed the left mouse button I would color the area with my selected "foreground" color, and if I pressed the right mouse button I would color the area with my "background" color selection.
I was working with one of my pictures, and I got distracted and accidentally pressed some key combination or somthing, and now instead of the paint bucket using my selected "background" color in an area, I instead get a "fill mode" drop down menu.
But this problem is not just affecting the paint bucket tool, as now ALL tools are giving me drop down menus or extra windows instead of performing the actions that I was previously able to use.
I have searched high and low, and I have NO idea what I pressed or clicked on. I have also tried the "Alt+Ctrl+Shift" trick at Photoshops startup, and that didn’t help, and I have also tried resetting "All Tools" in the tool preset manager. The only solution I can think of now would be to re-install.
Now the catch is, I can’t reinstall, because I have lost track of my installation CD. (And I don’t have the cash to buy CS2.)
How can I undo this error on my part and regain the control I previously had? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(This is my first post in these forums, if I accidentally said or did somthing wrong, please let me know.)
