Photoshop CS4: Resize window to fit not working

    I am using Photoshop CS4, and the file windows do not resize to fit when I zoom in or out, even though that option is checked. I am not using tabbed windows (each document window is floated). Similarly, when I double click on the Hand Tool, the image resizes to fit but the window does not.

    How do I fix this?

    Photoshop tools won't work

    It seems that randomly photoshop will decide that i am using the Scroll tool when i'm using something else (say the Brush tool). Also, selecting most menu commands/trying to open files by selecting the file and clicking the open button with my mouse will not work, or will attempting to open the Image menu with my keyboard (it just moves me to the next menu when attempting to navgiate in it)

    I'm using photoshop CS4 Extended and Windows 7 (how do i always forget to include things like this?).

    Have you restarted the software or rebooted the computer?

    Perhaps there's is something locking your mouse

    I found something on the Adbobe site referring to such a problem with InDesign.

    They claim Aero Glass could be the source of your problem.

    ISSUE When you try to access a tool or panel item in Adobe InDesign CS3by clicking on it, nothing happens.

    REASON You have Aero enabled on your Windows Vista system.

    SOLUTION Disable Windows Aero

    Aero is a new hardware-based graphical user interface in Windows Vista. It is intended to offer more advanced features than are available in the standard interface, including new transparencies and animations.

    • Choose Start > Control Panel.
    • Double click Personalization and select Window Color and Appearance.
    • Select Windows Color And Appearance.
    • Click Open Classic Appearance Properties For More Color Options.
    • Select a Color Scheme other than Windows Aero and click OK.
    • Re-create the problem behavior, and then do one of the following:
      • If the problem doesn't recur, then Aero is the cause.
      • If the problem recurs, then Aero isn't the cause. Re-enable Aero.
