Quick  selection tool problem on windows via parallels on mac book pro

Of course I am new here.  I am going through lessons (Classroom in a book) and get to lesson 3 to the point of cropping the image, the quick select tool  works.  After cropping I get the message:  Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error..., This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.  Please contact ...  Is it called crashing if now Photoshop closes down?  Of course I googled the issue, cleaned my registry and read a multitude of opinions and advice, deciding to just work around the problem by 'saving as' at appropriate moments.  I have done that lesson now often enough to know it in my sleep, however I am proceeding with the next lessons.  I am NOT very computer literate, so simplistically:  what is the problem, and who do I ask to fix it for me.
Friendly greetings to all you talented people - Rose

Can you assign more memory to the virtual machine (via the Parallels configuration menus)?
Photoshop CS5 has had an update recently, 12.0.1.  If Help - About in Photoshop is showing 12.0.0 you should run the updater (Help - Updates...).
It may be that the OpenGL drivers in Parallels aren't up to the requirements of Photoshop.  It's quite challenging to get OpenGL right in a virtual machine environment, and the virtualization companies are furiously releasing new versions with more and more graphics capabilities just so gamers will buy their software over the competition's.  Try disabling the OpenGL feature via Edit - Preferences - Performance and see if that helps.

    You can use bootcamp to install windows natively on the hard drive.  You then choose which OS you wish to use at startup - OS X or Windows.
    You can also install Windows in a virtual machine - Parallels or VMWare Fusion - and run it simultaneously with OS X (a virtual machine is just a PC emulated in software, and you install and run windows in the emulated machine hardware).

    Will boot camp run windows XP on a Mac book pro retina

    No. The newest Mac OS X version capable of setting up Windows XP or Vista in Boot Camp is 10.6.8, which is too old for that Mac model.
    You may be able to use it inside a product such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion.

  • Quick Selection Tool Problem - Cursor Stuck in Subtract

    Hey All,
    I somehow caused the quick selection tool default to be "on always" in the subtraction (minus - ) position; I am able to access the add (plus +) position by using the shift key , but this causes some problems as those are not the defaults keys for this tool or program for that matter.
    Can anyone help?
    2Divman

    Be sure the tool isn't set to subtract in the options bar. Otherwise, try resetting the tool by right- or control-clicking the blue arrow just to the right of the tool preset (under the blue PS icon in the below screenshot) to reset the tool.

  • Quick Selection Tool problem

    My Quick Selection Tool seems to be extremely quick to select the entire image.  Even with a very small size and very slow movement, I am having a hard time selecting what I intend to.  I don't remember having this problem a week ago.
    Is there a sensitivity level or something I am missing?  I do have the quick selection tool selected (not the wand) and I have reset the tool.
    I appreciate any help.  Thanks.

    I think I was having a trackpad tap-select snafu. I seemed to be able to scrub/protect an area with the minus selection tool before actually selecting anything and thought that was neat. But I can't replicate the behavior so I'm sure it was just me doing as I do. Maybe to OP can provide a link (the double-q seems interesting).

  • Quick selection tool problem (CS5)

    Everytime I use the Quick selection tool in CS5 I always seem to get a unsmooth edge and also white lines (please see photo attached below).When I use the pen tool I dont get this problem. Any ideas guys? thank you very much.

    This is pretty normal. The Quick Selection tool is looking for borders between pixel values and, if they are not well defined, you get a fuzzy edge.
    The pen tool puts clear vector lines where you draw them.

  • Problem connecting Samsung Galaxy SII to Mac book Pro

    Hello. I have issue with connecting Samsung Galaxy SII to Mac book Pro Late 2011! When i connect phone to Mac via usb, phone makes sound but nothing happens. Even if i open Transfet tool. Problem is not in Phone or wire as on another computers like my MinMac it works fine. Also on Windows side all is ok. Mac book Pro USB ports also are ok as it finds and open my iPhone5! Is there possibility that there is some faults with USB drivers in Mac book Pro! How can i reset or restart usb drivers if fault is there! What else you can suggest to try?
    Thanks!
    Best regards,

    i did went to Samsung Support: here is the result of it:
    Isabella: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
    Visitor: Hello Isabella. How are you today ?
    Isabella: I am fine. Thank you for asking.
    Isabella: Please proceed with the query.
    Visitor: I hope you can help me fix connecting issue for Galaxy S II with my Mac Book Pro late 2011. It was working till some day and now it does not recognise it when i connect phone via USB. I should note that on Windows on same machine or on my Mini Mac it works fine. so it can't be problem in wire or usb ports. Could not find answer in Apple forums and in forums they did suggest to turn here! I hope you can help me!
    Isabella: I understand that you are finding difficulties connecting device to Mac. Am I correct?
    Visitor: yes. but only to one specific Mac. as to others it connects without a problem.
    Isabella: Thank you for the details.
    Visitor: i think problem is in driver only i can't find how to manually remove from Mac
    Isabella: May I know the model number of your phone? To know the model number of the phone, please tap on Home>> Applications>> Settings>> About phone.
    Visitor: GT-I9100
    Isabella: Thank you for the model number.
    Isabella: However as you are able to connect the device to windows and Mini Mac then there is no issue with the device. This seems to be an issue with the Mac.
    Isabella: However we in Samsung US do not have the instructions on uninstalling drivers on Mac.
    Isabella: I request you to contact apple for support related to Mac.
    Visitor: Yess it is probably issue with drivers on that particular Mac. Might be you can guide me to location where Kies or phone driver is stored on mac? I then will try to manually delete is from system or replace from another machine
    Isabella: The model number you have provided is an international model and we do not have any information on the device you are referring to.
    Isabella: I would have surely provided you with the information if we had the information available with us.
    Visitor: If you don't know might be you could escalate to some higher level ?
    Isabella: It was a pleasure assisting you. Thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. If you have a minute, please click on the blue “X close” button to receive a transcript of your chat and fill out a brief survey to help us serve you better. Have a wonderful day!
    Chat session has been terminated by the Samsung Agent.
    So i was terminated and left without answer. But i did not expect anything else from Samsung Support..
    So might be someone of you know where drivers are located? i could try to copy them from one machine to another manualy!!!

  • HT3986 Can I install windows 7 on my mac book pro via a download or must it be done via a cd/DVD drive?

    I was told I may need to buy a hard copy of windows 7 and install it on my new mac book pro13 using Bootcamp via an external cd drive

    You should try asking in the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out. Your issue has been discussed there many times.

  • Using windows xp on a mac book pro!

    umm kinda a weird question.
    if i need to use a windows based device with the mac book, and i just plug it into the usb port and then access it within parallels?
    the device in question is a USB modem provided from a cell phone company that allows me to use the internet. and its windows only.
    i currently do not have a mac book, but sometime within the next few weeks im hoping to get one.
    and i just want to find as much information as possible
    thanks

    Hi irishking;
    Sorry but I am not able to answer your question because I do not do anything with M$.
    I will say that everything I have heard about USB modem has been bad. They have to have drivers on the computer in order to work so in order to upgrade you must be sure to get new drivers first. Then when they are working their performance is less then stellar.
    My suggestion would be to trash the USB modem and replace it with an Ethernet Modem. They don't require drivers and they perform much better.
    I know that when I switched to DSL the phone company want to give me a USB modem that was Windows only. I said no that if that was all they had I was canceling the contract because I had Mac and I wanted something that worked with Mac. All of a sudden they found an Ethernet modem for me.

  • Video does not play using windows XP running on MAC BOOK PRO?

    noticed this problem with someone i know using a 15 MBP
    somehow it does not play videos using windows xp?

    Can you be more specific?
    What videos? What are you using to try to play them?
    Also, this forum is for Apple support. Since your problem is Windows related, you are not likely to get much help here.
