Tools are locked : Adobe illustrator

This is a discussion on Tools are locked within the Adobe illustrator forums in Adobe Tools category; I have been working on some files in Illustrator CS3 and somehow now can't access the "extra" tools in my toolbar (i.e., I'd like to change the rectangle tool to a circle tool, but can't). I don't think I changed any preferences or anything - my extra tools just can't be accessed. Help? Thanks in advance....

No, I'm not launching from an alias. I even tried opening files I created months ago (tools were working fine then), but the tools are still locked. Any ideas? Thanks
