New Photoshop user Type/Text problems....Help!!!

New to Photoshop and was given v.7 as a gift, I'm trying to add text to a signature I'm makeing but when I select type tool, drag a text box onto my frame I can see any text/type. The box is there but I can't see what I'm typing??? the top left corner box flashes and it looks like there are tiny characters in there, although without a magnifying glass you would never see it??????? Please help, how do I add text to my frame????

Thank you all,

Zammas.

I supose you can just change the text-size or the font (some fonts have weird sizes) ...

Don't drag a text box.

The only time you should drag a text box is when you need the text to fill a particular amout of space. Instead, just single click where you want to start typing.
