OrCad 17.2 cannot select components

Hi,

I am on OrCad 17.2 and I keep running into issue where I just cant select and highlight a compenent. This is for schematic capture (not PCB). Can someone please help.

The only way I can stop is to shutdown the program and restart again. Seems it enters placement mode but never exits out.

    The first thing to try us make sure you are running the latest hotfix for 17.2 (which is S073). You can see from either the Start Page or from Help - About. You can download hotfixes from either http://support.cadence.com or by using the Download Manager app (installed by default). You'll need a COS account to be able to access either of these.
