Tech: PaintShop Pro Photo X2 Stopped Painting - can you he..

PSP X2 with the latest patches. For some reason, I an not able to get
paint to show up on an image. I have reset the preferences to factory,
reset the desktop to factory, cleared cache and all other parameters.

When I select a paintbrush and a solid color, and try to paint on an
image (existing or brand new, blank image), no paint shows up on the
image. If I select the TEXT OPTION, text shows up fine.

I have tried creating a new layer with no results.

One strange thing - with the preferences set to default, when I click
on the image to start to paint, the left (help) panel and the
organizer tray at the bottom of the page move - they shift back a
pixel or so as long as the mouse button is depressed, When I release,
they return to the correct position.

Please advise as soon as possible - thanks.

Chances are it is a problem with the app and NOT with your
photography! Post to newsgroup comp.graphics.apps.paint-shop-pro
