How come I no longer can crop an image in a free size on Photoshop?

My son gave me a new computer. He had Adobe Photoshop CS5 put on it. I can no longer seem to crop images to the exact size I want them. The cropping tool only has one general size which I can make larger or smaller, but not the exact size of the portion of a picture I want cropped.

I know this must be really simple, but I'm not getting very far with all the complicated instructions.

Can someone tell me how to crop a photo WHERE I want the crop lines to be?

    Select the Crop tool, then move the cursor on the top left of the Option bar and right click on the Crop tool icon. In the menu click on Reset Tool.

    Check in the upper left corner and make sure there are no measurements entered in the height and width bars. If there are measurements there, they will restrict the crop tool to fit those.

    If you have the crop tool selected... click on the drop down menu on the top tool bar.. make sure you set it to "unconstrained"
