Photoshop 7 problems

[Bucket]

I really don't feel like reinstalling yet, so I'll just ask around.

I have PS7 installed at the office. Something's happened recently that I can't undo: whenever I choose a rectangular selection, and do something like Select>Modify>Smooth, the corners are aliased. Now my fills look blocky and disgusting(even when I'm working in a PSD). I haven't yet found a setting that undoes this, and can't imagine what I did that made it happen in the first place. Every other selection tool works as expected.

My jagged webpages thank you.

Select>Modify>Smooth

(feather, border, smooth expand, contract)? Either way, on the top bar under file edit, etc, is there a checked option that states "anit-aliasing" for the selection tool? There is one in PS CS, I'm not sure about 7. If there is, uncheck it and it should work fine.

It's always greyed out. And unchecked by default. Logic would say I need it CHECKED. Or that it's totally unrelated. Anyway, it's always greyed out. And unchecked by default.

What reso are you using?

[Bucket]

Screen resolution? 1600x1200x32.

[Scabbed Angel]

No, reso of the pic you are making, 72, 150, 300 etc? Dimensions too.

[Bucket]

Usually monitor resolution (72dpi) and 1000x670.

I'm afraid his input may be too technical for me to understand. Besides-- I'm sure if he wanted to help me he'd have already gained access to my root, decompiled the .EXE, and inserted some assembly line code.

I can't help with that specific problem, but one pointer I can give is to uninstall 7 and replace it with 6.
