Cursor Turns to Crosshair

[liz goodwin]

I am working in PS 7 just fine, then I change tools and my cursor goes from the tool cursor to a crosshair. When I use the crosshair to paint, for instance, it will do what it's supposed to do, but since all I have is a small crosshair, I can't anticipate what it is going to do - or where. I have to reboot my computer to get the correct cursor back. This happens at least once a day and sometimes more often. I found some info that says I might have a bad video card, but our IT guy checked it out and it is fine. This also happened with PS 6.5 on my old computer.
Thanks!

Liz...

The cursor will change from Brush Size to "Precise" (that + sign you see) when you engage CapsLock. You must be hitting that by accident. Unlock the CapsLock key...problem solved.

If I could just keep my fumble fingers using the right keys! Thanks so much - now I can stop harassing our overworked computer guy!

I remember that one about drove me crazy until I accidently figured it out!
