so I DLed the latest mx 2004 demo cuz i’ve been out of the scene for a while…  
everything is great, the program loads nice n fast too.

however when i have the arrow tool, either one selected, and i try to  
hold shift then select more than 2 objects (by holding shift and clicking them)  
flash freezes/stalls, (mouse can be moved) then after a few seconds my pc goes back to normal, except the third item, the one i was trying to select is  
now selected, and the first two are not…

WTF?!

so i installed the demo on my laptop, and all is well there…

i reinstalled my mouse driver, logitch mx510  
and reinstalled the keyboard driver, microsfot multimesia keybo

reinstalled flash demo too…

weird part is i can DRAG a rectangle box and select a ton of objects…

just can’t shift select more than 2…

ANY ideas?
