Mostly, removed hysteria, resetting bolded items to normal face.

Jul 12, 2015 at 2:51 comment added Andrew Robinson Chances are, your mouse doesn't support right clicking. If that's not the case, are you sure your in edit mode? Are you in vertex select, not face or line? This is my answer, I hope it helps out, if it doesn't, go to user preferences and edit the controls a bit.
Jul 11, 2015 at 23:30 comment added lazy_traveller @stacker - Yes, I use a 3-button mouse. I got my friend who is quite proficient in Blender to take a look at it and he was also baffled. It would be great if it was not the drivers, though. Any idea what settings might cause this?
Jul 11, 2015 at 23:27 comment added lazy_traveller @Hexbob6 - When I used the Intel driver update utility, it updated all but the graphics driver, saying that there is a customized manufacturer driver for my notebook and I have to go to the manufacturer - lenovo. That's where I got the above mentioned "latest" update. An attempt to install a generic driver from intel manually was met with another "driver is already up to date".
Jul 11, 2015 at 22:29 comment added Hexbob6 Are you sure that you have the most up to date Intel drivers? :)

Jul 11, 2015 at 18:06 comment added stacker Do you use a 3-button mouse and are you sure that you used the right mouse button for selection? (This is different to almost all known software that selection works with RMB). I don't think that this is related to your graphics driver.
Jul 11, 2015 at 17:48 comment added lazy_traveller I tried what you suggested @zeffii , but it didn't help. Meanwhile I installed 3ds max and tried some basic tutorial and everything seems to work all right in there, so it seems to be a driver problem specific to blender. But I still would like to work with blender rather than 3DS max...

Jul 11, 2015 at 15:00 comment added David not to discourage you, but if blender does not work there is no guarantee that any other 3D software will work. It does sound like a problem with some setting in the graphics.
