I believe i'm pretty proficient with photoshop, but this has got me stumped. When i bring up the text tool and try to type something i can't see the text. I know its not the size and i've looked through all the settings i can think of, but i can't see any text. Its not the color either. I've restarted the program and my comp but still nothing. When i type something on a layer and ctrl+click on it, it says no pixels were selected, even though the layer name changes to whatever i typed. Any help with this is appreciated.

BTW im using photoshop cs2

Okay so when you type something and hit enter (not return) does the layer name change to the stuff you wrote or does it default to "layer x" ?
Siggie!

Sorry if I offend you but does the color of the font match the background by any chance?

Also try: once the text is written do a ctrl+t and see where the bounding box of the text is.

Try using a standard windows font, that would rule out a font corruption.
Also, make sure (by right clicking on the text tool in the toolbox) that you're using Horizontal Text, and not the masking ones - Just in case.
