A common cause of this is that you are in "Extended" or "Add" mode. If you see "EXT" or "ADD" down on the status bar try hitting F8 key a couple of times. F8 will will toggle you in and out of Extended mode. SHIFT + F8 will put you in "ADD" mode. With the "ADD" mode you need to re-click the mouse. This is used to select non-contiguous cells and ranges without using the CTRL key. With the "EXT" mode you just click once and drag. All cells will be selected. If you are using a wheel-mouse tap the wheel a couple times.
