your description is a little vague, but try trashing your preferences first and see what that does. also ditch the digidesign database folder on your audio drive. then restart and see where that gets you.

everytime you make a change in pro tools it adjusts your preferences. things like the screen scrolling, or editing options, whatever. anyways, they are in the digidesign folder in your system folder, at least on a mac, not sure on pc. just do a search in your computer for either protools preferences or digidesign preferences. find them and trash em then restart. you'll have to reset all your preferences now but this is a pretty common move when youre having strange problems. trash the prefs then see what happens.

In OS9, the Prefernces are in the Preference Folder within the System folder. On OSX, I'm not sure where it is... probably in the System folder or in the System Folder's Library Folder.

Peace.
