Well, thanks all.
It looked like it was the Photoshop preferences problem
Good little article on here about the preferences problem:

(thanks for that Jawed - PS7 has it's preferences in a different place from
previous versions)
Trashing the Preferences, uninstalling and re-installing seemed to do the
trick.
I also found I had to make sure nothing else was running when I did the new
install - especially Norton Antivirus and my Firewall programme. I also went
into the Task Manager and processes and made sure I shut down anything that
wasn't important.
Anyway it seemed to do the trick (and I heard from several people who were
having the same problem)
