Adobe Illustrator/CS4 Illustrator Selection tool Problem

Question
hi, I've been using selection tool to resize all the time and just today, I am suddenly unable to do so. I think I might have hit a wrong combination of keys but I am unable to change it back.

I have tried Crt+Shift+B and even with the bounding boxes, i am still unable to resize using the selection tool. A friend of mine told me she had this problem before and reinstalled illustrator. Is there any way to fix this without reinstalling the whole program?

Thank you

Answer
Hi Sam,

You do not need to reinstall the entire application, that is a bit harsh. If turning your bounding box back on does not work, then try resetting your prefs by holding down ctrl+alt+shift when you restart. That should fix any issues you have.

Thanks
