The red arrow in your screenshot seems to indicate that you are in Quick Mask mode. A similar thing happened to me last year, when I must have accidentally hit the Quick Mask icon and then tried doing other commands. I was somehow "stuck" in Quick Mask and could not get out of it. Layers could not be activated (they appeared gray, not blue) and many of the normal tools wouldn't work. I finally fixed it by resetting all preferences (hold Alt+Ctrl+Shift while starting-up Photoshop, and it gives you a prompt to delete all current preferences). You might first try playing around with the Quick Mask tool to see if you can click yourself out of that mode, but if that fails you may need the more drastic step of resetting all preferences.
