Polygon Tool

[Gleek]

Hi have a question im tiring to do a inset of the inner faces on the top of this cylinder which is a editable poly. As you can see from the screen shot it is selecting the entire face ignoring the inner edges. It also shows up very disoriented.
Im sure this is a setting issue, but cant seem to find how to fix this please help!! Thank you in advance. This is 3ds max 2011

if you switch the selection set from square to a circle in the front view i think you can select the whole face
