photoshop cs3 problem

[Danyael]

I have used photoshop for a long time, and for the first time while i was working on my draft. The tool shows as the hand tool but isn't changing at all i click on the brush, and stays as the hand tool(not actual tool but looks like). I cannot make any strokes can't erase or use any tools at all. Does any one have any idea's on this i've spent awhile looking online can't find anything

Does it keep doing this if you start a new file?

yes

maybe you need to restart photoshop, it might have just frozen.

i usually cs3 on a daily basis and never had that problem.

ive done that

i have installed it on another computer and no problems i really don't want to reinstall it on my main one (so much appending)

Sorry - thats never happened to me either and I use cs3. Maybe search the internet for someone with that problem and see if/how they fixed it.

There is an option for icon and precise brush, under preferences, (i think CTRL is the hot key) It could have something to do with that.. can't really remember too much about where it was because cs3 was at an old job and i only have ps7

It sounds like an icon bug, but I have no clue as to what may have caused it, or what might fix it
