Thanks for the reply!
Perhaps I'm not understanding your suggestion.
I checked the utilites/options and both boxes were checked as in pic, this is why I'm a little stumped.
When I highlight the layer, I can turn it off (eyeball icon) check box, but when I select the arrow check box, the computer beeps at me (warning sound etc)
Here's a screen capture of how it was during the problem.
