When working on a .psd file, on Layer 0, my goal is to eliminate parts of the image to reveal transparency (checkerboard pattern). I select the Magic Wand tool, and click somewhere in the image where I want to eliminate pixels and reveal checkerboard. I hit delete, and checkerboard is revealed. If I then use the Magic Wand tool to select another portion of the image I would like to turn to checkerboard, it crashes Photoshop. Also same (crash) if I use the Control key to select multiple portions of an image (first click OK, second click crashes).

Running Photoshop CS, Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2 and above.

Magic Wand tool works perfectly, as intended, within Photoshop CS on another computer running Windows 2000 Professional.

Thanks. Resetting just the Magic Wand tool was enough to resolve the issue.
