Why is it when you right-click to open some of the tools on the ArcToolbox, such as the TIN to Raster Tool for example, an image of a red x immediately appears over the tool icon? The tool dialog then never opens. What am I not understanding?
I'm using ArcGIS 10.2 for Desktop.

The tool is not licensed. This may be due to your ArcGIS license, or potentially an extension that is not turned on/licensed. In the case of TIN to Raster Tool, it would be the 3D Analyst extension.
While this article is a little out of date, it may give you some ideas of what you should do in order to see if you can get it licensed.
