right, so i just got a new hard drive in this computer and reinstalled PS.
i am so used to using shortcuts that i am in hell without them.
problem: when i hit the Alt key, it does not activate the menu now. so, for example, i cant hit Alt + I + S to change my image canvas size.
sure, i know how to do it with the mouse, but it takes so much longer. why wont my alt key work like it used to? PS 5.5 / WIN 98 (old system w/ old software)
anyone know a fix for this wacky shiz? help a freak out?

oh god, this is killing me.
all i want to do is rotate my frikkin canvas. ( Alt + I + E + 9 ) and i cant. aaaaaaaargh!!!
i am dying.

have you tried trashing your prefs?
- Biofreak0
yea. ive screwed around with prefs, changed em, defaulted em... none of that worked.
haha, ya know to some people, it may not be a big deal, but if i got no Alt key shortcuts... then i am an unhappy freak. and unhappy freaks are not a good thing.

thanks for the words wildpony.
i just freaked out and started trying weird things and it turns out that now instead of hitting the alt key, letting go and hitting the letter i want, i have to now HOLD DOWN the alt key and at the same time, press the letter i want.
thanks for the help though man. i'm set now!
