Hand and Zoom toggle no longer work in Illustrator or InDesign CC

For some reason, the Hand and Zoom toggle no longer work in Illustrator or InDesign CC. I can't figure out how to reset them using the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog - that is completely useless. Any tips. These toggles are key to my work flow.

    It's likely another application interfering with these keys—it happens quite a bit. Try rebooting the computer, and only open InDesign. Are they working again? If not, consider the applications that auto-load as the computer boots up. Anti-malware, anti-virus, etc.

    If you are on a Mac and have Safari open, quit Safari. Adobe's apps start acting up when Safari is open for some reason, depending on which app is laucnhed first. I think if Safari is opened first, then when the Adobe apps are opened they take control back of the the keyboard shortcuts.
