illustrator CS2 doesn't highlight selected items any more : Adobe illustrator

This is a discussion on illustrator CS2 doesn't highlight selected items any more within the Adobe illustrator forums in Adobe Tools category; hello, i use illustrator cs2, and since a few days - without having changed any options - the program doesn't highlight selected items any more. neither does it highlight selected text... so editing items becomes a guessing game which is extremeley annoying... i can't find anything on this in the help file... i hope anybody here can help me! thx!...
