When I right click on an image I am working on in Lightroom 4 to export to CS5 the program is no longer asking if I want to edit original, copy with adjustments etc.  It just stopped doing this after I re-opened a couple of images (Open Original) that I was working on last night.  I completely shut down my PC and did a cold boot as CS5 had seemed to get a little wonky on me too and thought maybe the system had gotten unstable after editing a hundred or so images.  Problem still not fixed.  Any ideas?

With my old PC my editing would slow down. Then I would have to re-boot the PC. Now that I am running a SSD with 64 RM I no longer have that problem. Run a Disk Cleanup and then a Defrag. Then re-boot. That should help a litte?

It would help Litghtroom to ask for edit type? And what "a little" means? It's going to ask every other day?

Wonkyness:  Scubby zoom greyed out so no function here.  Patch tool not deselecting when I touch my wacom pen to tablet after doing a patch...

It shouldn't ask you if you work with raws. Only if you work with jpegs or tiff. RAW file is not an image, so there is no original.
