Best guess from the partial screenshot:

There is an active selection somewhere. Might be tiny and barely visible.

Try Select -> None and see if you can paint.

'Select >None' is greyed out - can't select it

What settings do you need to see? I'll screenshot away.

Also I don't believe you about the no ghosts thing - 'Image > Mode' Randomly changed from RBG to Indexed - which took me too long to figure out and I was hopelessly stuck with white - any help is appreciated - gimp is infurating - Paint.net just works - but doesn't have the depth I need
