I am using Photoshop CS and I am having a problem I am not sure how to fix. When attempting to use my brushes on a 'New' document all I get is a crosshair.

But if I 'Open' an existing image or document I can 'see' the brush (which is the way its supposed to be). Can someone please explain this to me or help me fix this problem. It was working fine before I had to reinstall everything.

Thanks!
