Photoshop Error

Lately, when I've been working on Photoshop, I get the following error whenever I try to move a layer around: "Could not complete your request because the layer is locked." I think maybe a default setting got changed, but for the life of me, I can't get this error to stop popping up. Has anyone else experienced this? Know how to make it stop? Help!

Click on the arrow in the toolbar and then click on the item you want - you may also need to right-click and select the correct layer from the list. Even though I'm just really learning Photoshop myself, I've encountered this problem when trying to 'move' something on one layer when another layer is selected. Hope it helps!

Most of the time when that error occurs - it is the bottom layer which can't be moved, only selections you make with your marquee tool. Make sure in your layers "tab" that the lock is not clicked.
Does that help?

You can fix this by unchecking the "auto select layer" box in the top left.

Interesting. With PS Elements2 for OS X, I get the "Could not complete your request because the layer is locked" - error message regularly after startup and then every subsequent 10 or so minutes, then, after a time, it doesn't appear anymore.
And that WITHOUT ANY PICTURE open! ie. No layers, no pictures, just PS Elements only. It also happens after opening a picture (with all layers unlocked).

Really strange, really annoying, because the message just kills any operation currently in progress.

Any ideas?
