Jim, is happened to me regularly and I’m not on 64 bit.  It seams that is not a matter of windows but a PS bug.  I am curious if this is happened to Mac OS users though – for me it doesn’t as I am using a mac at my job place.

I believe I have tried them all, and some work sometimes, others work other time, and sometimes, NOTHING works and I cannot finish a project.  Photoshop has become functionally useless to me so I am simply going to have to go with another product, which saddens me because I have relied on PS for years. This problem was first reported almost TWO YEARS ago (yes, I shouted) and Adobe hasn't come up with anything.  Also, the fact that for over a year now it has been known that auto-updating on 64-bit computers (ALL new Windows systems being sold today are 64-bit) does not work and messes up your system has not been addressed yet either. I will be seeking out Adobe reps at NAB in Las Vegas in 2 weeks and will be asking them specifically about these issues.  I really HOPE they have good answers, but I fear they will not and I will just have to move on.

Still what I think is happened is that changing from PS to another program, in this case the internet browser, “unlock” the memory allocated to PS, because after all thoughts, I came to a conclusion – it is a memory issue.

I am convinced, after reading your comment, that you can open any other program, stay on it for a few and then come back to Photoshop – will have the same effect and the problem will be gone :) Didn’t try it, is just a guess.

Step 1: Go to www.yahoo.com Step 2: In Search type "photoshop hand tool" Step 3: Hit the 'enter' button Step 4: Forget about any results that come up when you search and go back to Photoshop to find your hand tool problem/glitch/headache cured as if by magic. It's almost as if the program itself is screwing with us and realizes the game is up once we start searching for a solution.  VERY WEIRD, but I PROMISE it works.
