Can't Copy and Paste

Up until a few weeks ago I was able to copy a cell(s) and then paste them in
another group of cells, usually a column. Presently when I highlight a cell,
right click copy, highlight a very large group of cells, and then right
click, the paste or paste special are grayed out. When I return to the
original cell I can see that it is no longer highlighted. I have found that
if I try to paste only a small group of cells that it will work. I have also
found that I can highlight a cell and many times it will only stay
highlighted for 10-15 seconds. I am using Excel 2000. Ideas and thoughts
will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Barry
 
Really hard to speculate on something like this.....I would ask if the flaky
behaviour was observed in any other programs besides Excel.......might be a
mouse and/or mouse driver problem.......have you got a different one
recently?.....or maybe changed Operating Systems and maybe a driver didn't
get updated.....
