Problem with Crop Tool

[johns]

I have tried everything, but no results! I have Photoshop CS4 in my laptop and the cropping tool works just fine. When i installed it in my PC, I get 3 cropping tools instead of one,, and it's very difficult to crop a photo. I have tried the clear tab, and tool reset to no avail. Any ideas?

3 Cropping tools? Do you have a screenshot so one can understand it better?

I'm just a dumb photographer, and how do you get a screenshot? With my cell phone? I mainly use Photoshop for retouching and sizing up piz for printer. No fancy stuff. I'll have to get back to you!

Yes, buddy. Even a photograph with your mobile phone of the PS screen that shows three Crop tools may help in identifying the issue you are facing.

I hope this helps Polarworc.

So, I will assume when you move the mouse, all three crop tool icons move. So, which of these is the actual tool that starts and stops cropping?
Please also confirm if you tried "Reset Tool" option.

As as a different item to check, here is an old Adobe help file that talks about a fix when 3 cursors show up in Windows for CS4.
Hope this helps

Wow! That did it! I tried 151% first and it didn't work, so I restarted and dialed in 149 and that did the trick. Thanks so much John! And thanks to all of you that responded to my thread!

Yes I did, and John turned me on to a fix that worked. Thanks

Your welcome and that was a strange one. One of those Photoshop/Windows bug that neither company wanted to fix once they had a workaround.
