I think you have to turn on backface culling. Never used it myself though becuase have no problems selecting certain verts.

Yeah Archie, is right, go to Windows>Settings/Preferences>Preferences

Under the polygon menu you'll find back face culling, turn the option box to on, save and close.
If you believe in telekinesis, raise my right hand.
