Problems with Photoshop Elements 5.0.2?

I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0.2 with Windows Vista. Often, when I'm editing my drawings, the program will lock up on me. When I move the mouse pointer over the drop-down menus at the top, they flicker oddly, and I can't select any commands. I can't close my open files, or save what I've done from my latest command. When I try to close anything, I get the Windows ''error'' tone.

The only thing to do at this point is open Task Manager, and tell it to end Photoshop. I have to do this a couple of times to get it to close Photoshop, and I get the pop-up window stating ''This program is not responding''

Has anyone else had this problem with Photoshop, and is there an upgrade or patch for it? Failing that, how about a big hammer?

I have this program, but Ihave never encountered this problem with Photoshop 5.0.2. However - I also have installed a program very similar called Corel Paint Shop Pro, which I did have the same problem you have described. After many different attempts to remedy this (none of which worked) I finally uninstalled the program, rebooted, then reinstalled the program. Bingo - problem solved and I have not had it happen again after almost 3 months and constant use.
