There's nothing wrong with photoshop. If you change the mode to Grayscale, it'd be pretty stupid if it then let you add colour wouldn't it 
After changing it to Grayscale, make sure you change it back to RGB or somethin so you can add colour again.
@ photoshop being broke.

You need to be registered to see that, mate.
If you tell me exactly what you've done/trying to do then i'm sure I could help.

To produce a photo with selective colour, you first need to convert the photo to Mono.
This must be your first piece of post processing on this photo, do not crop the photo until you have completed the selective colouring.
Follow the steps below to convert your photo to mono, then see the details at the bottom which will show you how to return colour to specific areas.
Converting a photo from colour to mono can be done in a few simple steps.
The first is to select the photo your looking to convert.
You then need to Select image in the top tool bar, then select adjustments > Channel Mixer
Once the Channel mixer has been selected you need to check the Monochrome box as seen below.
Your Photo will now be converted to Mono, but there is one more step here that really requires your own personal adjustment until you get your desired effect.
I personally change the Colour percentages to Red 40% - Green 30% - Blue 30% and then tweak adjustments until I obtain the effect I'm looking for
Now your photo is converted to mono, you only have one simple step to enhance your photo with selective colouring.
Using the history brush and painting over the areas where you want the colour has got to be the easiest and quickest way of doing this.
Now carefully go round the area of where you want the colour.

Probs easier to select the bits you want to keep in colour using Polygon Lasso tool or something, then copying and pasting it into a new layer (make sure this layer is above the original one). Then mono the original layer and job done

In PS, layers are your friend. Once you learn how to layer an image correctly, you will be able to do anything you want more or less...
