    Highlight 1 cell in Excel & move mouse-stays highlighted - stop?

    I highlight one cell in Excel and then move mouse and the cells stay
    highlighted, and in the process it highlights other cells. Once I click on a
    cell there is no button that can stop this. Therefor I have to
    ctrl/alt/delete out of the program. Happens every time I go to a cell.
    Checked the mouse settings and everything appears normal and this only
    happens in Excel????

    Any suggestions?

    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
    different mouse and driver on the machine.

    David McRitchie also has some suggestions on his web site:
