Modifier key bug with Adobe Design Standard CS4 (Mac OS 10.6.6)?

Question

When I launch the Adobe apps, they ask me if I want to delete the preferences file. I say 'no'. Then, when using the apps, none of the tools seem to work properly, eg in Illustrator, I can't move objects without it duplicating the object. Photoshop constantly displays the contextual menu icon that usually only appears when you hold down the control key.I can't do any work in them when this happens, so I am forced to log out and then back in. They work for a while and then this annoying bug happens again.I think it must be to do with the modifier keys (command option and control). I think Adobe's apps must think I'm permanently pressing the modifier keys down - the thing is, no other app on my machine has this problem!Does anyone else experience this? Or have a fix for it? Any suggestions much appreciated.Running: Mac OS X 10.6.6 on an iMac. Adobe CS4 Design standard installed.

Honestly, because you are using CS4 it might be an issue with the updates. Mostly, people use CS6 and if not they are on adobe cloud. It might be a way of adobe advancing you to push an upgrade. If you can, go to CS6, I know you can illegally download this, otherwise you might have to pay a subscription fee to the cloud. This is a conspiracy called "obsolescence." Obsolescence occurs when something is no longer used even though it might still work just fine. Obsolescence can occur for many different reasons. For example, a program may become obsolete if a better replacement is available. The theory suggests that after new products are released, the manufacturer intentionally messes with your device, which forces you to upgrade.There has been a long-held conspiracy theory that companies create programs that are built to die in a practice known as "planned obsolescence."
