Photoshop Gurus....I need your help :(

I am using P-Shop 5.5. I recently started having problems with my text tool. When I type a line of text and and press enter to start a new line, the cursor goes to the middle of the line I just typed. If I start typing again the new text overlaps the first line...see pic. I also noticed that I have lost my tracking option...notice how it is a dull gray and doesn't allow me to enter a number. I have tried to change all the different settings and anything else I could think of. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I am hoping something in my computer itself didn't mess up causing me to have to reinstall the software....or worse, reformatting my PC.

Any help is greatly appreciated

highlight the text, and then change your Leading to something bigger.. like 10
