Multiple Controls selection problem

[alinshaham]

I have been using VB for years and have never run into this problem before, even though with old type processors. Now with a newer processor( AMD 8) and newer version of windows When I select an object(command control) and then holding down the <Ctrl> key to select another object of the same type in the same Form the grab bars of the first object disappear and no grab bars appear for the second object selection fluctuates then disappears. Although I had never used the window drag procedure to select multiple objects I did try it before I posted my question. When I held down the <Ctrl> key and then tried to drag a window to enclose several objects, no selection rectangle appeared or selection limits to less controls then disappears. I have tried locking and unlocking the controls and I have tried setting the alignment to grid and then releasing this setting. I updated my windows 7 to windows 10 but the same problem persists. Right now I am forced to "align" controls by manually setting top/left and height/width properties for each control I want to align - very frustrating.

Is it time to quit using vb!??

Any other thoughts or suggestions would be welcomed.
