Highlighted cells

[Stephen Hayes]

I need serious help please. Im using Excel 2000. When Im
in Excel, I click on a cell and release the mouse button
and all the cells are highlighted. I drag the mouse with
no mouse button pressed and it still hightlightes the
cell. I cant even close out excel after that. I click on
the X and also go to file and it wont process the
command. Ive tried rebooting the pc, reloading excel, and
even reloading the entire pc. But the problem still
exsits. Is there any one who can help with this
problem???????

Stephen,

First thing to try would be pressing the F8 key.
If that doesn't work, try here for some further help:

See the EXT on the taskbar? Press F8 to get rid of it and stop the behavior.
