Turn OFF autohide

This solved it for me thanks. As usual a community expert always forgets the most simple and likely solution.

I've been using Photoshop for years -- I've never had my tool options dissappear and go into "auto-hide" mode before.  They have always just been visable.  I've given Adobe a couple thousand dollars, and have never posted in the forums before, as I've always just rolled with the punches and figured it out, but it has been a couple months since I needed Photoshop, and it's being uncooperative, as usual, but I thought I'd try the forums instead of doing what I usually do and hunt for solutions elsewhere in blogs or whatnot.  I think I have probably found solutions in FAQs, here, but had no luck today, so after being a customer for years, I made a couple posts.  Go ahead and delete this thread -- I'll go back to my usual method.

Thanks for trying to help, this is not for me.
