PSP Not Responding on tool change while ...

[SJS]

PSP X3 Not Responding, I had to terminate PSP ... I accidentally picked the Picture Tube tool, and then picked the adjacent Fill tool that I really wanted to use. The problem was that PSP was updating the Picture Tube cache, and was still in process at 98% and then hung! Not responding, killing the photo loader process not enough, so lost my current image edits. Not so good!

I've not been able to replicate this. It is a known fact there was a problem with guides, dragging them too fast would cause a crash. This however was supposed to be fixed with one of the service packs. Have you installed any of the service packs? If so which ones? If you're not aware, SP-3 broke more than it fixed...

aside from updating your PSP X3, this can also be a problem with damaged workspace, You can do that by pressing and holding down the SHIFT key then double-click on the PSP icon then when you received the message "DO YOU WAN TO RESTORE PAINTSHOP Pro TO ITS DEFAULT STATE?" just click OK.
