Problem selecting nurbs in Maya 2012

Hello all. I'm new to 3d and just starting to work my way through online video tutorials. I'm presently working on a basic file which consists of a nurbs sphere and polygon sphere both placed on a polygonal plane.

The problem I'm having is quite simple: I can't seem to select the part of the nurbs sphere which is overlapping the plane in the background. If I click in this part of the sphere, the plane behind it is selected. Only when I select the sphere where there is no overlap with any polygonal object does the nurbs sphere become selected. I have no problems selecting the polygon objects. I have also deleted the prefs file to reset the preferences but the problem persists.

Also, this issue only appears on my laptop which has a ATI 7000 series card. No such issues on my desktop with Nvidia 9800gt so I'm wondering if this is possibly caused by the ATI card, and if it can be remedied in any way. Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks.
