Mouse problem

[Andy Archard]

One of my computers at work has stopped allowing Excel to function. It
opens a workbook but when you select a cell it simply highlights the
cell without allowing input. If you then move the mouse it simply
extends the highlighted area, which is the same behaviour you normally
get if you switch from mouse left to mouse right after selecting a cell.
But in this case I cannot get normal left mouse operation. The mouse
operates normally with other software and we have reinstalled the mouse
driver. The only solution is to crash out.
Any ideas?

You could try downloading and installing a new version of the mouse
driver, if one is available from the manufacturer's web site. Or, try a
new mouse and driver on the machine.

David McRitchie also has some suggestions on his web site:
