Are you sure you are using the Select Tool? (it's on the toolbar on the left side of your screen).

Huh... I've heard of this happening. My only advice would be to re-install Hammer. I think that was the solution last time this happened.

ok.
either you're running vista or you have an ATI video card (or both). Please tell me which one it is.

if the problem is the ATI video card then try this:
Quote:
This is likely to happen if you're running on an ATI Graphics Card. Thanks to them dropping OpenGL support in their latest drivers (anything above 7.11), you can't select anything in Hammer's 3D window.

Solution?
Download this file and place the atioglxx.dll file that is inside the zipfile in your Hammer root directory (IE: C:\Program Files\Valve Hammer Editor\)
NOTE: This solution won't work on all video cards !

You are now able to select objects in the 3D window using the latest ATI driver on Windows XP.

Thanks to MuzzleFlash and raver for the info and files.

NOTE: This solution has not been tested on Windows Vista.
...and that's the bottom line because Mate de Vita said so.

well, try what I posted anyway... maybe it will work
otherwise I think the only thing to do would be to get yourself an older driver (since apparently this only happens with drivers 7.11->).

Bloody ATi. They have fucked the support for the OpenGL_select function meaning that Blender now takes about 4 seconds to do certain things. Bloody hell.

So, is there ANYTHING i can do to solve this problem, because i can't live with it!.... I could live with it if it only would be the mark problem, but also, i cant just select one face of a brush and just paint that with an texture and another side of the block another texture.... That sucks, please help me! Thanks!

again GOD FREAKIN VISTA!!!
If that doesn't work then I have only 3 more solutions but none of them are good.
1) I saw on that forum that reducing your hardware acceleration might work (I don't know why but they said it...) So:
Right click on desktop -> Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Troubleshoot and reduce the hardware acceleration. But be forewarned it will lag like crap...
2) Sell your graphic card on ebay and buy another one (not ATI).
3) Live with it.

I don't know, maybe someone else has another solution, I don't...

You closed down Hammer before trying to put the .dll in the root folder, right?
QUACK! QUACK!
