I have not seriously played with Inkscape for about six months so I thought I'll do a complete reinstal. My system is Win2000. I cleaned out old copies of Inkscape and brought down Inkscape-0603271700 (43.5M).

It appeared to install OK but when I opened it I find that I cannot not use it because the toolset is missing many of its functions.

All that is there is:

Create rectangles and squares Select and transform Create circles, ellipses and arcs Flip vertically Flip horizontally Edit path nodes and Convert selected object to path

This seems so bizarre.

Either 1. There is a dialog somewhere that sets up a specific toolset. 2. Something is borked. 3. I am doing something really silly because I've been away from Inkscape too long.

I've had a look around and cannot see anything that looks promising. Can someone help me out here. I've been using Inkscape for years so I know how it should behave and it certainly is not doing it now for me.

Thanks, Erik
