When I select my basic eraser tool, it paints instead of erasing. I was playing around with the background eraser one night and it has been messed up ever since. I have tried resetting my tools with no luck. I'm new to elements and I'm sure it is something simple but I just can'y figure it out. I need it back in a hurry to finish a project. Can anyone help?

Problem or error

If you use the regular eraser on a background layer (as opposed to a regular layer) it replaces what you erase with the background color. Does it work the way you want if you first double click the background layer to change it to a regular layer?
