Troubles in the Toolbox

Hello :)  I am new to this list, so hello all!  

My problem is this.  I consider myself an intermediate user of GIMP.  I know the basics, can do some fun stuff with it, but a lot of the program goes unused.  I have left the toolbox and stuff as it comes on a fresh install.  My problem is the "details" box I guess, is missing from the toolbox.  If I click on say, the paintbrush tool, I can change the shape of the tool, but not the size.  I used to be able to click to "paint under" and all sorts of neat stuff.  Now?  I can't change the size.  Using the text tool is like sending Morse code :)  I cannot just drop any dialogs where it says I'm supposed to be able to either.

What I've done to try to fix this:

1. Uninstall and reinstall 2. Uninstall, shut down, unplug computer for 15 seconds, boot up, reinstall

Neither of these have worked.  I can't find a general place to seek help either, so when I found this, I jumped for joy - PLEASE - can anyone help me?

Thank you so much Sue

Does it help?

I know this doesn't solve your problem, but a handy shortcut to use to change the size of your brush (or pencil or whatever) are the bracket keys [ ] . The left bracket makes it smaller and the right one enlarges it.

Good luck! mfisher

Thanks in advance,
