Batch Command Freezes up CS5

Question

Suddenly, when I use the batch command, CS5 freezes up and has to be closed using alt-ctrl-delete. I've been using the command for a long time with no problems. All the other commands under the "Automate" line work.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I reinstalled CS5, and it appeared to fix the problem. However, when I scanned a BUNCH of photos, and went to use the command, it froze again. Any ideas?

Ok since I got some free time, I updated to 12.0.4 again, with reallocating the temp path.
The freezing bug is still there, and it's still creating those .mvm file(1-14 inside the C:Temp. and 15 at the root of E). Since http://forums.adobe.com/thread/747353 is still discussing this issue, I'll leave it for a while.
With the update, my selection issue is also remaining there, I'd like to talk about it, since it's not only happnening to selection or magic tool, but to any tools  involving moving cursor.

I'll save myself the trouble of describing since the above posts have done it really well. And their fixes do not apply to me.
What I could add to this:
1) Regarding the selection tool, this issue mostly happens after I move my cursor, and once it's "activated", I could just click like hell without moving my mouse at all, while creating a crazy record of below( simply caused by clicking mouse, which
"moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>moving marquee>cancel selection>".
But if I simply open PS, and start clicking on the picture with selection tool, keeping my mouse from moving in the first place, then usually I can't duplicate this issue.
2) Also, the issue will also occur if I move my mouse and click, but we could get some hint if we duplicate it this way.The unintended selection caused by this issue, which we take rectangular selection for example, will have a corner at the place where I ever put my cursor at. So from my point of view, it's like photoshop is ignoring my action, which is releasing the left button. For PS, I first move my mouse to point A, pushing left button down, (igored)releasing left button(ignored), moving mouse to point B,and a new unintended selection! Though this pattern only occurs sometimes of the issue, but it might hold some word.
3) As I keep testing, the easiest way to duplicate the issue is to move my mouse for a long distance and click, opposed to rapid small displacement and click.Well not that useful.
4) The way I deal with it now, is to endure it. I keep reselecting and usually the issue will disappear for a while, and come back at unknown future. I tried changing my mouse/graphic card/memory, as well as their drivers, ended up no fixing.
Any idea on this, Noel?
