Excel Cells appear to "Stick" When working

[Keke]

Good morning all,

Can anyone help me on a little matter regarding what seems to be sticky keys
in excel?.

We use both Excel 97 and 2000 here, and I just had a couple of problems from
both versions.
When a user tries to make changes to an excel spread sheet, they select one
cell, then when they move the mouse around, more cells are selected.
Now we have had something like this before, and the resolution is to depress
Shift+Tab then Ctrl. Or another problem can be solved by the F8 key, or the
Extensable option I think it is.

In this instance non of these works. Everytime you start up excel, the
problem starts from selection of the first cell. No matter what the file
used.

My only solution so far, was to uninstall Excel 97 and reinstall, and Repair
Excel 2000.

Can anyony suggest a better sollution to this problem.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Regards,

Keith

Try re-installing the drivers for your MS wheel mouse. During installation,
repair and at various intervals, these seem to get screwed up. Yoiu might
also try checking you have the latest.
