Thanks everyone!

iDad - I tried resetting the shapes tool a few times and nothing changed

hawkeye - i see what you're saying.  previously, when i created a new shape, it became its own entity, a new layer.  now i have to create a new layer and then create a shape.  how do i re-set my settings so that when i create a new shape it automatically becomes a new shape?

Steve - I tried to hold down ctrl + alt + shift right when photoshop opened up.  i tried it a few times and no dialogue box popped up.  what am i doing wrong? i am using photoshop cs5

Thanks again everyone!
