When I select a cell on any worksheet, the cell is
highlighted but I can't do anything else. When I move the
mouse all those cell (between the first selected cell and
wherever the pointer is) also become highlighted.Ican move
my mouse frely but all that happens is I'm highlighting
cells. I can close the program by going to the task bar
and right clicking and it responds immediately so it's not
frozen. I've tried restarting the computer, tried in
existing files but it's all the same!!!
Can you tell me why and how can I stop it??????????????

I've had a similar problem over the last few days - except
that the first event occurs with the cursor jumping to the
extreme bottom right cell in the worksheet. When I return
to the work area the cursor is frozen over the last input
cell and any further movement just expands the selected
area. What I've done is go to the start menu and play
around in some of the programs e.g. mouse, modem, etc and
when I return to excel 50% of the time it has returned to
normal!!!!
