In Photoshop CS I use the polygonal lasso tool on a photo but before I can...

...finish it connects to the start.? When I use either the polygonal lasso tool or the lasso tool on Photoshop CS if I don't finish right away (ill try to time it) it automatically cuts through the photo and back to the start point. It seems that I have a limited time to finish outlining the selection I want (a few minutes only) then I get a little blip on the screen and then it connects to where I start. I'm wondering if it is my settings (if that's possible), or something on WIndows Vista, or maybe it's because the program is installed on my notebook??

At first I thought it was the version I was using but I read another person with CS3 having the same problem. Any ideas?
Not the image itself. It does it to all images. I've timed it at every three minutes. After three minutes my images that I have opened in Photoshop blip (flash) and thats when it connects back to the start. Either lasso tool stays the same wherever I have clicked or traced.
 
could be the image itself........if there are gaps or other inconsistencies in the outline your lassoing then it only lassos part or none of the image.

Take notice of where it jumps from then zoom in and make that portion of the out line consistent.
