The problem I have with my software is when it has finish loading and I open a new document, the cursor or arrow appears as the hand tool and no matter what other tool I try to choose it never changes. If choose to uses brushes it still remains as a hand tool. Whats up with that. I tried restoring to default settings and clearing history nothing happens.

Make sure you don’t have a dialog window open off the desktop somewhere. I had that happen once. The levels dialog kept opening just off the left side of the screen and I had a permanent "dropper" tool. No other tools would respond until that window was closed. I fixed the problem by resizing the desktop resolution while the dialog was open to force all active windows to snap back onto the screen.

that’s a good one too ss.

since cs3, if something like that happens again, hitting ESC should clear that…
