Arggh! Can someone help me?

I have PSE 4.0 and really have only had minor issues (mostly due to the fact that the laptop has Vista) but can usually fix them.
So, yesterday I'm working on a LO and suddenly it will only type in capital letters no matter which font I select. I've clicked anything and everything and it won't change. I closed and re-opened PSE. I've re-booted the computer. Nothing works. It still will only type in caps. Any advice?

Is your caps lock on? LOL!

Gosh, no ideas here ... that wouldn't seem like a preferences thing. I hope your caps lock key isn't stuck. since you're not typing in all caps in here I'm guessing that isn't it, though.

good luck!

Open the character window and there should be a caps lock option there.

Mine was doing that for a while! My only solution was to uninstall & reinstall!

I had to press CTRL-ALT-SHIFT (do not release keys) while starting the program. It then asks if you want to reset all of your settings, then click yes.

Thanks for the advice - unfortunately nothing has worked - the only one I haven't tried is the un-installation/re-installation. If it doesn't fix it self by Saturday, I'll have to do that I guess.

I'm almost positive it's the character/paragraph tab thing. There's a T that will be highlighted or not. That toggles caps on and off.

Windows --> Character

Or try right clicking the arrow on the right of the font box and see if you can change it that way.

ah i had that problem FOREVER, nada worked for me, just gave up and got a new computer, til then that prob caused me not to scrap for months. Hope you can fig it out...

Angie - I must have a different program version than you, because mine looks nothing like that, lol.

Well, I did figure out how to fix it finally. I clicked on the red T next to the Horizontal Type Tool T, then the Ctrl button, and it gave me a pop-up with the option to Reset Tool (or Reset All Tools). I reset the tool and now it's fine.

Again thanks everyone!

Yay glad you got it working! Didn't want you to uninstall for nothing.
