thanks for quick reply...
 
unfortunately i still have problem.
 
I already have noun/verb box ticked,  so that I can select objects before changing their properties. 
 
ie. 
1) I select an object. 
2) It is highlighted. 
3) I change the colour of object in the colour menu.
4) The object changes colour, but the highlight disappears.
 
 
If I change the noun/verb box to empty box (unticked),  then I can not select an object first to change it's properties.
 
I have always been able to pick several objects (highlighting them), then change several properties at a time, without the need to re-select them again.
 
Maybe I am going mad  @_@ !

I have noticed with my new 2009 that after selecting and highlighting one or more objects, then changing a property (for example colour), the highlighted selection set is automatically cancelled.

On all my previous versions of AutoCAD, the selected set would remain highlighted, enabling me to change a second or third property.
 
This is a little infuriating at times, as I have to re-slect all the items.
 
Please can someone tell me where I am going wrong.
 
Thankyou
