Stroke path is not working [2013]

Hello everyone,

I am using Photoshop CS6. I am not in quickmask, I am using the essentials pallet I am creating a path not a shape, and I have a new blank layer selected. When I right click on my path, stroke path is available but it just won't do anything. I have been able to get it to work by going to my paths pallet and selecting stroke path from there but that is a lot more time consuming, and well call me crazy but I would like this super expensive program to work properly. Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thank you!

Try un-checking the "Preserve Transparency" box.

Same problem on CS 6. After selecting to stroke a path, nothing, where normally a window comes up to let you choose a stroke tool (brush or pencil). Tried every solution mentioned above. Finally shut down the program and restarted in. Worked perfectely.
