Photoshop Brush Problem

[Goddess_nataku]

So when I use my brush on photoshop, the usual small circle appears, but the moment I actually USE it. It disappears completely and an arrow appears. Which makes it REALLY difficult to use or even see what i'm doing.

I looked at the other forums to see who else has this problem. I found many similar things that could help. The main one with the whole if the CAPS LOCK is on. I tried and it just makes a cross hair appear but even that disappears when I actually use the brush and that stupid arrow appears.

So it would really really helpful if you guys could tell me what it is that i'm missing here with Photoshop. Thank you

Try resetting your preferences:

Or, try checking your preferences and make sure that under "cursors" it's set to "standard."
