I have a very odd problem with the tools in Photoshop CS4 that only exists after watching a video. After watching a video online (You Tube, for example) or watching a video in Windows Media Player, all the tools stop functioning.

CPU: Core2Duo E6750 2.66GHz
Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate – 32 bit
Memory: 2GB DDR2 800(PC2 6400)

CS4 opens without a problem. I can open any file (.psd, jpg, etc)and it loads. When I go to click on a tool, nothing happens. The only tool available is the "hand" tool. Nothing else works. None of the tools are dimmed out either.

I have found that by logging off and then logging back in, or restarting the computer clears the problem.

Anyone experience this problem????

Could this be the hand tool like when the space bar is pressed? Maybe the video turns that on. Hit it a few times and see if it clears.
