Object Selection Tool - Program Error

[chrisp77412936]

When I use the Object Selection Tool, the box sits there for about ten seconds around my selection with the dots going round then this error box appears:

Could not complete your request because of a program error.

After clicking OK I get pink fringes around objects!  I have to find other ways to do what I want!

I'm not sure if this has ever worked on this computer. (I normally use PS6 on my laptop which works fine)

Everything else on this workstation works fine.  The computer is a 2017  Dell Precision Tower 5810 with Intel Xeon E5-120 v4 processor and 32 GB Ram

I had the latest PS6 installed and I have tried going back to the previous version, but its the same.  I am a hobby photographer with only limited experience with Photoshop.

Any help would be very welcome, thank you.

You've posted in the Dreamweaver BUGS community.  I am not aware of an Object Selection Tool in Dreamweaver.

What you describe sounds like a memory problem.  Does your computer CPU, GPU and VRAM meet or exceed current specifications?  See requirements below.

Thank you very much for your help, all very interesting

My guess is that this is GPU related.  In fact, a quick search imediately found this link:

I don't know how up to date the GPU FAQ is, but have a read through.  Check other functions that use the GPU — the FAQ will tell what those are.  It might be as simpla as a driver update, but my gut tells me that you might have a fight on your hands.

Good luck

Thank you Trevor, it does indeed seem to be a GPU related problem.  In Preferances - Image Processing - Selections Processing I have now altered the setting from Faster to More Stable which has fixed the problem.  Its a bit slow but it gets there in the end!  I'll look at investing in a better GPU.  Thanks again.
