help with illustrator

Hi I was just wondering about something with illustrator
I used to be able to resize images just by dragging them but now the arrow does not allow me to do that anymore? Did I do someting to the custom settings that make the images not resizble? I have not put the create outlines on my document yet. Thanks

Select the object and make sure you have the black arrow/selection tool selected (you can hit the 'v' key as long as your text tool isn't active) and the white boxes appear on the corners.

Click on one and drag it, shift to constrain proportions while dragging.

Make sure you have the selection tool (black arrow) selected. Hit command H to make sure you haven't hidden the white boxes.
