Tools keep switching back to one selected previously - frustrated!

I have suffered from this problem for some time, but it is eventually got to the point where I can't tolerate pain, especially given the very high price of the suite Adobe.

I'm running an Intel i7 installed Win7 64 with CS5. 12 GB of RAM, disc scratch on a disc for installation. The problem manifests itself in 32 and 64-bit Photoshop.

The problem is that when I select a new tool with a keyboard shortcut, there is a brief paus and the cursor turns into the new tool, then he just passes it back to the previous tool. The behavior is not aparrent when selecting tools by using the buttons in the Toolbox with the mouse/pen.

Example:

-Move the currently active tool

-Press b to activate the brush

s ' flow 500ms

-Cursor turns into brush, icon from Toolbox "Brush" as if chosen highlights.

-800-1000 ms later, tool resets to 'Move', 'Move' icon in the Toolbox highlights.

The only solution I've found is if I quickly 'Double Tap' keyboard shortcut (or sometimes triple/quadruple), it seems to force change. PS restart does not help, the problem exists in all the files of all sizes. The user interface is also significantly lag.

I found a similar problem here: http://UK.answers.Yahoo.com/question/index?QID=20110217073844AAFPiG3 , but none of the proposed solutions were of use.

I've set up with this problem for months, but I finally cracked. I am extremely frustrated. You spend £1,500 on a piece of software, you expect the user interface of the function.

Sincere greetings,

Den

Finally solved!

With the help of an external mailing list, I was directed here:

http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/658445?TSTART=30

And I can confirm, at least for CS5 and WIn7 64 Bit, that the fix works with Configurator 3.

  • Selection tool automatically switching to the direct Selection tool, grabbing a picture box

    Seems that when I'm grabbing an image placed in Indesign CS5, it automatically switches to the direct Selection tool and grabbing the image instead of its container. I'm doing something wrong? I have to do it several times before I can enter the container and the image, instead of just the image.

    Any tips? I've only noticed this in CS5.

  • How to make default tool wand (instead of the Quick Selection tool)?

    Hello

    Whenever I open my photoshop software, the default value of 'W' is the quick selection tool. I'd rather be the magic wand tool. Sometimes she stays tool magic wand, other times, it comes down to the quick selection tool. How can I get the 'W' to stay the magic wand tool by default and not switch back to quick selection? I don't want to get rid of quick selection as I use it sometimes, but I used the magic wand.

    Click on the three dots at the bottom of the toolbar, and choose edit toolbar.

    Drag the Quick Selection above the magic wand tool and click done.

    Hi it. My problem is when I try to go back to the page previous (s) and hit the back button nothing happens. I have to hit twice or three times to force the action. What happens after the last update of mozilla. I know that in previous versions of mozilla, you have to click twice to return to previous pages, but in recent versions you might come back with a single click (double click remained as a choice for the romantic...).

    Also, can you try to start Firefox in Mode safe to see if Firefox works correctly without error? You can start Firefox in Mode safe below:

    • Windows/Mac: choose Help > restart with disabled modules
    • Linux: run firefox-safe-mode in the Terminal/Konsole

    If Firefox opens fine with no problems, it is probably one of your extensions that is causing the problem. You can reactivate your modules one by one until you find the one that is causing the problem to be re-activated.

    This may seem like a strange question, but im trying to encode two buttons Flash Adobe, next and previous, however, when I put the thumb to the next scene and play on the next button and the previous scene and play on the previous button, it keeps switching autour.

    If you have symbols of button on the stage to the next and previous, each of these symbols has an instance name with a listener event attached to it. The event listener is linked to a mandate. You can have a single event point to a function. So for example, if you have a next button and a click event that points to a function that says something like nextFrame(); and then you want to use the next button to point to a function that says something like nextScene(); you will need to use another instance of this next button and have this different instance to use a different event handler to point to a different function.

  • MP3 player via the USB port (no matter which), it keeps coming back as the "Drive is not accessible. Access is denied. "

    Hello

    So, here are the problems I encounter, and what I did to try to fix myself.
    Whenever I try to connect my MP3 player via the USB port (no matter which), it keeps coming back as the "Drive is not accessible. Access is denied. "  This same thing happens everytime I try to put an SD card in the SD card slot.  However, despite this, I can plug my USB mouse and use it, as well as the keyboard and it records only.  I can also use the HDMI port to use my TV as a second monitor and, also, to record that.
    What I did to solve the problem, it is to restore the system to the previous times before that happened, did not.  I also went into the Device Manager and uninstalled and re installed, USB and SD card drivers.  I also tried something in the sense of taking control of the files via a right click on a folder and go to properties and then security and to the 'advanced settings', the problem with this situation is that I can't in readers at all.
    I am currently running Windows 7 (64 bit) on a laptop Lenovo, the computer itself is actually only a few months.  If someone knows something about this, please let me know.  Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    1. What is the number of brands and models of MP3 player?

    2 are logged in as an administrator on the computer?

    3. are you able to use this device on another computer (not Windows XP)? The MP3 player or SD card already worked on this computer?

    4. Once you get this error message? Do you get this error when accessing the mp3 player and SD card on Windows Explorer?

  • Windows 8 keep switching between screens

    Not "app mail" problem as shown in 'windows under heading' but no problem selected in the list for me to choose. Microsoft issue again.

    Windows 8 keep switching between windows. Word and internet or even just internet screen goes by the United Nations, highlighting the window, then 10 seconds later highlights the window again.

    Even while typing on this issue, it happens, and words and letters get spleen and loose spacing between words.

    Does the same thing when you type in a Word document, even if nothing else is running.

    I'm gone in "Configuration", 'change pc settings', 'general', off "allow to switch between recent applications" and turned off "when I drag from the left edge etc." but always keeps switching between windows.

    I removed all the 'apps' as well.

    It is not do it in "safe mode" cannot run what whether in 'safe mode' obviously, so it is useless.

    Nothing in Windows can do, so make sure you follow what you install and remove any element t - it.  If you see happen, feel free to post back and I'll work with you.
