Excel 2003 - Selection Problem

[microsoft]

These are the words of someone else on www.msfn.org with same problem as me
(however, the answer give have not resolved the problem):

I have a problem with Excel: When I select any cell, then let go of the left
mouse button - it acts as though I am permanently holding down the left
mouse button; i.e. it tries to select multiple cells. I cannot de-select the
left mouse button and cannot access any of the menu buttons. The only thing
I can do is right click on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and close
excel - open it up again and have the same problem!

I also get a similar problem when I select a workbook, the cursor changes to
a page symbol as though I am trying move it, only I'm unable to deselect it.

I've tried all the suggestion in Knowledge Base article Q307812
"Troubleshooting navigation issues in Microsoft Excel",
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;307812, but to no
avail. I've also run Detect and Repair in Excel.

If anyone can help me, I'd be most grateful.

Many thanks

grahame
