Thanks for help.I can't really say what is causing your problem, but I have something similar occuring and I know how to solve my problem - maybe yours is the same. I sometimes get a stuck hand icon on my Photoshop screen, it turns out that it's something with my keyboard, the spacebar (and just recently the Alt Key on the left side) appear to be sticking. If I hit (pretty hard) the space key (and now the Alt Key too) the icon changes back to what it should be.
If you figure out which keyboard shortcut is causing you particular icon to show up, maybe that key is sticking on your keyboard too? Or maybe just hitting it a few times will force it to wake up?
Also, if you want to restart Photoshop without restarting the computer, try (for a PC) typing Control-Alt-Delete and selecting Start Task Manager from the menu (you can get here several other ways too). In the Task Manager, make sure you are on the Applications tab and right click on Photoshop then select End Task. It will terminate Photoshop without asking you to save your work so be careful to save first. It may save you from a complete restart, but it's not really a solution if there's an underlying problem.

If I am on the right track, CS is not really 'freezing up' if you are still able to save your work. If it was, you would get the notification that it has done so and is shutting down. You would not be able to save anything. This as well as I was unable to load the most recent update caused me to un-install and reinstall the program. No other fixes suggested by Adobe and members here worked. The reinstall has cleared everything at this end.I'm using CS5 and occassionally the program will freeze and lock to a "hand scroll" icon (the one with the clenched fist for scrolling image). I till can save it but got to restart the com. Its getting quite frustrating. I'm just working n a 5mb files.
Has anyone get similar experience and is there a short cut to overcome without restart?

Are you able to move the fist? Does hitting the Esc key do anything? Have you updated your mouse/keyboard and video card drivers as well as the latest CS patch to 12.0.3? If so, and your problem persists, maybe Adobe support can help?
Or, have a look here .. assuming you have Windows ..

To see if you settings for CS are within range ..
