have you reset your brushes and/or reset your workspace?

Paint Tool not functioning after reinstall

I have PP12 on  XP-SP2.  I had to reinstall my system.  Now, I cannot get 
the Paint Tool to work.

I create a blank 24-bit RGB screen (white background).  I can Fill it with a 
colour - either the whole screen or a masked area.  When I select the Paint 
Tool, I can choose my tool as usual, re-size it, etc., but when I click on 
the screen to apply the tool nothing happens with any colour or tool type. 
It is not the Transparency setting as I can vary that with no change.  I 
have changed the Colour Mode to 24-bit Lab - no change.

Shape tools and text all work.

I never had any problems before with any tools.

Any clues????

TIA, Paul

Thank you... That did the trick (F8 and start-up of Paint).
