What are your settings for quickmask? (double click the quickmask icon)Maybe the opcaity is set to 0% ?
How dos it not work? you are unable to see the selection?
Thank you for your reply Pierre.
The color is set to Red 50% opacity.
When I use the brush, no red shows up. After I paint and click on the other icon to show the selection, there is no selection.
I am on Windows XP Pro Dell Dimention XPS Gen 3 Intel Pentium 3.4GHZ, 2 Gig Ram, single processor (not dual).
I still have Photoshop CS installed and it works just fine there.
I did not change any settings in CS 2.

check your brush settings, or create a selection and then go to quick mask, and see if it shows up.
Hi StevenT.
When I create a selection on an image using one of the selection tools, I used (elliptical marquee) and then clicked on "Q", it showed up red everyone but my selection.
The main thing I use Quick Mask for, however is to paint in a selection.
So what do I do now? =/
Thank you,
DeeDee
I used (elliptical marquee) and then clicked on "Q", it showed up red everyone but my selection.
This shows that the Quick Mask function is working okay.
When I use the brush, no red shows up.
This points to the Brushes not working properly.
* Do the brushes work when you are not in Quick mask? (eg just paint on the image)
* After entering Quick mask, are your default FG/BG colours Black/white? (hit D)
* You might try Deleting the Preferences file (as per the FAQs) in case something has become corrupt there.
Hope some of this helps.
Chris.
Thank you Chris!
After I hit Q the default colors were NOT black and white. Once I switched them to B/W, it worked fine. I have never had to do that when in Quick Mask mode, so I didn’t even notice they weren’t chosen.
It works great now!
Thanks again,
DeeDee
You’re welcome DeeDee.
Quick way of working…
* Hit D for default colours.
* Hit X to eXchange them
Chris.
