      That usually means your image doesn't have a Background layer.

      If your image doesn't have one you can create a background layer from

      any selected pixel layer by going to Layer>New>Background from Layer.

        Bob greetings

        I would love to but wouldn't know where to start, as I said it is occasional and not that often, but annoying when it happens, oh yes I am sure that I am in the wrong place I am using CS6
