I’m using Photoshop CS2 on a PC and when making a selection with the magnetic lasso tool, the image I’m working on (and any other image I have open within PS, including PS itself) turns grey and blank. It’s very strange, it happens as I work and make that one click, then bang! The whole app turns a grey color and I have to start all over again and hope it doesn’t do it again! It’s almost like a low memory issue, but I have 1.5 GB installed though which should be enough.
When it happens I can see the actual tool itself in the grey background and I can move it around, but it doesn’t do any good since I don’t see the image itself. Sometimes the system clears itself and I’m able to continue after a few seconds, but sometimes not and I have to ALT-TAB to scroll my apps which usually clears it, but I lose my work.
I have the latest updates from Adobe installed. Anyone have any ideas what might be the cause??
My system:
WinXP
2.88 P4
1.5GB RAM
