Photoshop question

I've got a problem with PS that's driving me bugfuck. I have two pics that are actually parts of a larger whole, and I want to combine them, first by increasing the canvas size on one and then patching the second one in and lining the two up to make the bigger whole. But when I move the second part in and try to line them up, I have to blow the image up to some ungodly size in order to do it precisely. That's because it keeps defaulting to a snap-to-grid movement that is not accurate as far as the pictures I'm working on. If I blow the image up large enough to do the match-up without fighting that snap, I lose all the detail and have a very difficult time seeing what I'm doing.

Does anybody know how to tell PS to STOP trying to snap the image to a grid? I've tried looking everywhere and can't find an option to turn this crap off. I'm using CS2, by the way.


ETA: Problem solved, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] txvoodoo. *goes off to picland*

Try View menu, Snap to option - unclick them all
