Just reinstalled Photoshop on a new PC and I have two issues which I need sorting -

 

1- The mouse pinter is three hands, I remeber in the past I had to change some setting but have forgot which one.

2 - How do a get the wheel on the mouse to enlarge photos when editing.

Cheers Graham

If you right click on your desktop and go to Display settings, what is set under Scale and Layout?

What version of windows are you using?

 

The "triple" cursor usually has to due with having the windows operating system scaling settings

set to something other than 100%.

Hi

Not sure what you mean by "three hands" but you can check out the cursor settings here

For the scroll wheel on the mouse

Hi, I'm still using Photoshop Elements 7 and the preferences listed are not the same.

You didn't mention Photoshop Elements in your original post, this forum is for Photoshop proper, I'll move the thread to the Photoshop Elements forum
