bounding box

Without a full sized screenshot that shows the enitre program you two images you posted are not very helpful.  A screenshot that shows the enitre program saves everyone a lot of "back and forth" question asking. 

THIS IS WHAT I THINK IS GOING ON:

You have posted a combined image screenshot from organizer.  It's all one layer- one image.  It's also a layer that is locked- you can't get a bounding box on a locked layer- you have to unlock it. 

 

It is unclear from your screenshot which layer, if any, is selected.  The Move tool can't operate on a background layer.  I also don't understand why the Show Highlight on Rollover box is checked but seems to be inoperative.

Try resetting the preferences file. Go to the Edit>Preferences>General tab and click the Reset Preferences on next launch button. 

Edit:  Never mind.  I missed the posts before Jane's post.

I am using Windows 10 home. I just went to elements now to get you what you asked for and the bounding box is showing up now. I had been on the correct layer- I know the bounding box would not apply to the background layer. the thing just was not working before and now appears to be working. this is the third issue I am having with PE2024.  I may just ditch the thing!

What version of Windows are you using?

Can you show a screenshot that includes the Layers panel?

If the Layer you have selected in the Layers panel is the Bacground layer then there will not be a Bounding Box.
