Moving to newer computer and all settings are out the window so need to re-investigate and turn off just about everything but this one has me puzzled... What On Earth? more importantly, how do I get rid of this insistant 'Pirates of the Carribbean' graphic that covers all of my photos now?

Hi,

This symbols is visible when you try to use Rotate View Tool. See screenshot. Rotate View Tool is located in the same spot as the Hand Tool in the Toolbar. This is visible when you try to rotate the canvas. Could you please check that this tool is not selected. May be you swicth from Rotate View Tool to Hand Tool, if that works for you.
