do you have a material on it that could be making it difficult to see the selection? yellow and definately orange make it very difficult to see the selection unless you're right on top of the surface

Configuration problem:
What OS?

there is no indication what faces are selected in shaded persp, you can see the pivot point move when you select new faces thats about it.

sometimes restarting maya can temporaily fix the problem but not always

running on P4's with win2k sp2
maya 6
i think they only have nvidia vanta's in them
