I have seen videos showing how to use the lasso tool and each time it shows to tool as making a single line around the selection however when I do it, I get the marching ants. Tried it on PSE 15 and it does the same thing. Any tips on what I am doing wrong? Thanks

You're not doing anything wrong. You should be seeing the marching ants. For various possible reasons a screen capture may not show the marching ants and it will appear as a straight line.

Is there another tool I can use to get a straight line?

What are you trying to do? Do you want to draw a line around a selection, using the lasso tool? Or are you just trying to draw a straight line? If the former, first make a selection using the lasso (1,2), then choose Stroke (Outline) Selection from the Edit menu(3). If the latter, you can use the Pencil tool (4) and Shift-Click between two points (5,6) to make a straight line between them.
