add text comment cursor says "click to type"

Question

We uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Pro today, and now when we go to Add a text comment the cursor says "click to type" and you can't see well enough to place the cursor where you need it. How do we turn this off? We are not using the new acrobat, our security enhancements are off, and it's not protected. It is up to date too. This is maddening. Everyday there is something new with Adobe.
