Hmmm... you could try logging off your computer, then logging on again... that should set it right... it worked once for me  hmm

Or shut down. Some people leave their computers on hibernate or sleep mode. You are best off shutting it down after using it because you clear the computer's memory which might be causing scratch some problems, because it uses quite a bit of memory. Hope this helps.  wink

These are awesome and helpful responses, everyone! I have nothing to add - rebooting seems like the first thing to try to me.  smile  I hope it helps!
