I run into this problem several times a day: My cursor is showing the hand tool no matter what tool is selected. And the tools of course do not work then. PS restart does not help, I have to restart the PC (Vista 32 Ultimate).
I read about this problem many time in the web. Why isn`t there any solution? Even CS4 11.01 has this bug.

Did they mention that your space bar is probably sticking?

what john said. tab the space bar briskly. with authority. :)

It's not the space bar, it also happened to me once and no amount of tapping(bashing) the space bar solved it but for me it did recover after i restarted PS. This was on vista 64 with the 64bit version of PS

then try the control key... and the alt key... and stop eating over your keyboard! :)

Hey guys, it`s not the spacebar, because while Photoshop has this problem, all other programms act normal at the same time.

I've noticed persistent Hand Tool behavior too since my jump from PS 7 to PS CS2 (where I am now). Apparently it's still happening.
For me, a space bar tap releases me back to my currently selected tool/cursor.

stop eating over your keyboard phos.♦

Like the O.P., I have no trouble with it being persistent in any other app.
'sides, the only thing I do over my keyboard besides type and shed eyelashes & skin is sift dirt for gold.
Is that wrong? Should I not do that?

yes. that's wrong. very wrong. don't do that!
