Hi,

I just moved an installation of Elements 9 (Yes I know it's old) to a new computer and the user is reporting that her cursor appears as Three Horizontal Lines when using a majority of the tools, not all. Have any of you noticed this before or have any guesses as to why it's happening?

Right click on your desktop, click Display settings and under Scale & Layout set the Text size apps and other items to 100%. Then restart windows and check photoshop elements 9.

What version of windows are you using?

That's usually caused by the windows system scaling as described in this adobe kb

(even though it says cs4, it also applies to pse 9 which is based on the cs4 codebase)
