Stuck on Hand Cursor

    Hi, I've had this problem along with a few others who have posted it here,
    for some time now. I am at a complete loss as to why it happens. It is very
    annoying and I have lost a considerable amount of time trying to find a
    solution, to no avail.

    However If I shut down my machine completely and restart it, thankfully the
    problem goes away, for me at least. So I recommend you try that.

    | Any ideas?

    machine whenwven i'll get this error :-(

    Hi,

    Did you try running the CS4 cleanup script and then install FWCS4 to see if
    the problem still persists?
    Here's the link to the CS4 cleanscript

    I had this issue in Photoshop CS4 too. If this is happening in Photoshop look for the Hand tool at the top, it is to the right of the zoom level. I clicked it once to toggle it on , then clicked the hand tool on the toolbox then went back up top and toggled the hand tool off and now i can use other tools again. Not sure how it gets stuck like that but Hope this helps.

    I am using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. This glitch seems to be file specific. I can open other files and use any tool I want, but this .psd file will only let me use the 'closed hand' tool. I believe it was initiated by a combination of keys on my keyboard. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you which combination (puppy ran across the couch and stepped on my keyboard).

    I was able to fix it. For me the solution was as simple as looking at my preferences.

    Edit > Preferences > Cursors

    I opened the preferences, clicked a few of the other preferences subcategories on the left hand side of the preferences window (changed nothing), and closed the preferences window. Once it was closed my cursor was back to normal.

    Hope that helps someone. Good Luck!
