Using magnetic lasso tool crashes PS

I'm using Photoshop CS2 on a PC and when making a selection with the
magnetic lasso tool, the image I'm working on (and any other image I have
open within PS, including PS itself) turns grey and blank. It's very
strange, it happens as I work and make that one click, then bang! The whole
app turns a grey color and I have to start all over again and hope it
doesn't do it again! It's almost like a low memory issue, but I have 1.5 GB
installed though which should be enough.
When it happens I can see the actual tool itself in the grey background and
I can move it around, but it doesn't do any good since I don't see the image
itself. Sometimes the system clears itself and I'm able to continue after a
few seconds, but sometimes not and I have to ALT-TAB to scroll my apps which
usually clears it, but I lose my work.
I have the latest updates from Adobe installed. Anyone have any ideas what
might be the cause??
My system:
WinXP
2.88 P4
1.5GB RAM

What is your video setup?

Are your videodrivers up to date? Updating or reïnstalling them can do
wonders.

Hm-m, I just d-l'ed a copy (from Tucows?) Tuesday. I had it on the laptop, but
it was tied up, so rather than wait, I just grabbed another copy. The ver. on
the laptop is 1.0.0.3, but it was d-l'ed 9 mos. ago. About EndItAll states
that it appeared in PCMag's list of utilities in 1999, but that is all. I'll
have to check where I got the recent copy, but it seems that it was just a
quick Google for "enditall" and my first hit was a d-l site. Maybe I have just
gotten lucky, but considering how things go for me, I doubt that.

Sorry, Hunt; not any more. EndItAll was one of the formerly-free PCMag
utilities written by Neil Rubenking. It is no longer free, although you may
still be able to find a copy floating around the Web. I have a subscription
($17/year) to PCMag Utilities Library, so I've got the latest version,
EndItAll2. The first version worked fine, too, but it might be a tad
difficult to locate nowadays. See here

CS(2) is shorthand for CS and CS2 ;)

One thing that you might want to try, while working on some of the good
suggestions, so far, is to try a program called EndItAll (freeware) to remove
all running processes, that are not necessary for the machine to run. Then,
start PS and try your proceedure to see if there are any problems. If not,
take a look at the processes that EndItAll has shut down. It is likely that
one of these is either conflicting with PS, or is sapping resources that PS
needs. Considering the power of your system, you should be able to run PS on
medium sized files, without too much effort, though probably not much else.
BTW, what size files (you said that you had two open) are you working with?
What is your Scratch Disk setting and your HDD config? My guess is that you
have added something, that is running in the background and causing the
problem.

Gummo,
I know, CS(2) is shorthand for CS and CS2 ;)

Mike, I'm on CS - not CS2. My PC's too slow for CS2.

Gummo,
CS(2) can be a bit of a bully, it doesn't like sharing, does it freeze up on
you when it's running on its own?

I'm using CS and this behaviour has started happening in the last week or
so; in fact, if I'm playing Winamp at the same time the PC freezes and I
have to switch off and on again.
I'm going to try Mike's advice - I'll let you know how I get on.
