Photoshop CS3 problem - help needed!!!

I am currently in the process of redisgning my website using photoshop to come up with the draft design etc.

My problem is though that I seem to have changed a setting within PS and I cannot figure out how to get it back to default.

I'm trying to create a box with rounded edges to place content into, so I have used the Rectangluar Marquee Tool and set feather to 10px to round the edges. Then when I go to Stroke and apply as 2px inside the box I get a faint airbrush effect line instead of a solid one???

It's becoming quite frustrating as it's really holding me up now - so any advice would be very, very much appreciated.

Thanks.

PS - I can provide pics of problem if needed!

What tool have you selected to draw the stroke line with? It sounds like you want the pencil, but have selected the brush.

Can't you just go back to Select | Feather and drop it back down to 0 px? Or set it on the toolbar. Wherever you put the feather. Feather is meant to blur edges and make them transition smoothly.

I think you want to use your Rounded Rectangle Tool to do what you want.

Yeah that was it... strange as I had set the feather back to 0px previousley but it was still doing it!!!

Used the Rounded Rectangle Tool instead - I thought I knew photoshop pretty well, but I never even knew it was there tbh -
