I have been trying to select any vertices, faces or edges. It refuses to select anything.

I have selected the required selection on the bottom of the screen for vertex selection still it refuses to let me do it.
All my settings are defaults. I am stuck, no matter what I do!

I clicked LMB, RMB, even clicked down on my scroll, No success.

Why can I not select any vertices?

This is weird. Check the following:

  1. The selected Object is a Mesh (not a Lamp, Camera, Empty or other form of weirdom).
  2. You are in Edit Mode. To check this, look at the lower part of the 3D-View for selectable box with the text Edit Mode or Object Mode.
    If you hit Tab (with your cursor in the 3D-View proper), it should switch between Edit- and Object Mode.
  3. Hit A to select / deselect all vertices.
    IF no visible change happens, you are doing art. Else, it is the vertexial selection that fails.

Hope this helps.

Found another possible cause, if things are hidden. Fixed mine by going to mesh - show/hide - reveal hidden (Alt + H).
