Press R, and if that doesn't work, go to Windows > Settings/Preferences > Tool Settings, and reset the tool. Make sure you're on Scale tool when you do that.
Hope that helps.

Try to save (or save as) and restart Maya. See if the issue persists.

Have you selected the UVs in the UV texture editor? (Right click and select UV)

Your shape shouldn't "spazz out" or do anything when you're dealing with UVs - it only touches the textures, not the actual model. Make sure the UV Texture Editor is really active and, as shk1101 says, that your UVs are selected.
Also, have you applied a projection map to your model? If so, another way to scale your UVs would be to select your geometry in your perspective view, right-click and go to "Faces". Then, select your faces and in your channel box you should see your history in the "Inputs" area. By default, Maya names your projections something like "polyPlanarProj1" or something like that. If you select the projection in your history and activate the "Show Manipulator Tool" (shortcut is T) then in your UV Texture Editor a manipulator will be around all your faces applied to that projection. With that manipulator you can scale, move, rotate, etc. all your UVs. If none of that helps, please post a screenshot so we can see exactly what's going on. Thanks!

Did this just start happening? Also, did you try it on a model in a different scene? I wonder if the file is at fault. See if you can upload it and I'll take a look at it.

Im Online allmost all the time on
Mortenbormeth@msn.com... Would be a bit easiere..
From our tests it looks like your scale took in your uv editor is broken. If you have the same error after a restart, new file, and different surface I would guess you have a problem with the script that handles that function of the uv editor. I am not 100% on the script that controls that tool but you may have a corrupted install.

Okay i'll try a re-install of maya.. If that dont work Xp will be re-installed.. I will try and try... And thx to you all ^^... And Papa, when will there come a tut out like Interior Scene... Cause i like DT much more than SM... :yes
Soon. We have mental ray interiors / exteriors coming out soon. Also more rigging kits, and mental ray nodes which will be pretty exciting.
You shouldn't have to reinstall xp that is a pretty long stretch but I would start with a reinstall (delete the maya folder) of Maya to see if that works.
