Johnny, check the status bar at the bottom of the screen if Bjorn's advice doesn't immediately fix. You may have "Large Assembly Mode" enabled. With this enabled it may disable the edge selection so you would firstly have to deactivate Large Assembly mode- do this near the bottom of the "Tools" menu.

Johnny,
Do you have any selection filters accidently turned on? Press F5 to bring up the tool bar to check.

Re: I'm having trouble enabling the selection tool to highlight edges and points
Thank you Bjorn ... A little off topic as my issue was regarding highlighting edges/vertices in drawings, but alas the resolution was the same.
For the life of me I don't know how it got turned off but I've been struggling with dimensioning items in drawings as they were no longer highlighting the edges/vertices for selection.
Just one of those things that I think we use but don't realize how helpful it is until it goes away. I must have been struggling with this for the past couple of months due to simply not knowing whether or not something had changed. I hate it when that happens ...

Hey John,
No worries, it is a long known bug in the program, the setting keeps turning itself off constantly. You just need to reactivate it whenever it turns itself off.

I assume you have a 3d mouse? See What happened to the orange highlight when I hover my mouse?.

Does the redegit solution fix the problem? I don't have a 3D mouse anymore as I gave it to someone else at work since I didn't use it much but it still keeps on turning off...

I never tried it, so I don't know. I'm surprised you're still having trouble. However if you still have the 3dconnexion software installed I guess it kind of makes sense. In any case, it's worth a try.
