Help!!

Not sure what is going on with my CAD. Yesterday everything worked and today I have issues...
1. My right click shortcut menu is missing most of what used to be in it (like edit functions, draworder etc...) My SHORTCUTMENU is set to 11.
2. When I click on something my layer manager used to display what layer the picked thing is. Now it only displays what layer is active.
3. When I need to delete something I can no longer use the keyboard DEL button, I have to type E for erase.

Basically it seems like things have reverted to pre-release 2005 function.
I cannot double-click on mtext to edit, have to ddedit...

Any bright ideas?? Or is reinstalling software only option??

Set "pickfirst" to "1".

Thanks.
I knew it was some kind of variable (not sure how it got changed)
but I did not know which one...

I feel much better now..

This problem is usually a result of poor lisp programming. Somebody will write a routine that changes a variable in order for the routine to run smoothly, but then they don't change it back at the end. Either that or they don't include an error checking sub-routine that would switch it back in case you exit out of the routine before it finishes. Chances are good that you are using a routine like this, so don't be surprised if it happens again.
