Here is the relevant info on the desktop I use to edit on

My Scratch Disk and Cache are both on my 2nd internal HD J:\ which has 13.4 GB left on it (this movie is 2 and a half hours). However I had the same problem with my previous project that was on C:\. I was almost done with that one when this issue first arouse last week, so I just put up with it to get finished, but now it is happening again. Each time I do a cut, it locks and gives me the icon of the razor blade which I’d just clicked on, but it won’t let me change back to the arrow icon, and above the start button it says “Click to split clip into two, Alt overrides a link, shift for all tracks” and it stays like that and won’t let me do anything else, even change from the razor to the arrow pointer icon. After about a minute, it releases and I can work again. It will sometimes not respond and I have to exit and restart.
