Hi David_B,
Thanks for the reply. I get the welcome and can go into the edit or organize screen without any problem. If you go into the edit mode via the organize screen or directly from the welcome screen, I get the flashing cursor. It take 10-15 sec to start, but once it does it does not stop. It cycles between the cursor and wainting circle every second or less. Before I had to reload my OS I used PS Elements 8 a lot and did not have this problem. I call it flashing but it just alternates between the cursor and circle. I can also hear my processor running (clicking) during the pulses, like it would if your processing data. I opened my task manager with the edit screen open and it stops. I was looking to see if during the pulses it showed anything on the processor. Of course it didn't because it stops. If I leave the task manager open but minimized, it continues to flash. Again, thanks for the help.
