Photoshop: Broken Brush cursor issue

Try disabling OpenGL. Go to Preferences>Performance... and uncheck "Enable OpenGL Drawing" then restart Photoshop. Does the problem go away?

This document will give you more things to try, but if you're happy with OpenGL off and don't use the 3D features, you're probably good to go.

GPU and OpenGL support | Photoshop CS4, CS5: http://adobe.ly/OpenGL

I have tried a couple of things to fix this problem but no change. I have updated my graphics card driver, restored my preferences, unistalled all plugins, and unistalled the program. None of these solutions have helped with the problem.

What version of Photoshop, what OS are you on, and what hardware/video card do you have?

The version of photoshop is CS5 operating on a windows 7 Machine and the standard dell Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3000.I have these same specs on two computers one whihc runs fine, the other with the stated issue.

It's a video card driver issue of some kind.

Did you update the driver from Microsoft, Dell, or Intel (correct choice)?

And CS5 is Photoshop 12.0.0, while the current versions are 12.0.4 or 12.1.

Now, what is different about the computer that is working compared to the one that isn't? Settings in the graphics driver? Driver versions? Other utilities? Third party plugins added to Photoshop?

Yes it did thank you
