Cannot move from cell to anything else

Excel opens ok, but when click on a specific cell, the
curse -- which is a plus sign -- locks onto that cell.
Moving the cursor picks up various other cells, but
cannot enter information of get out of the original cell.
Cannot get to the tool bar to do anything -- including
close

I believe you have the MS wheel mouse problem, Try downloading new drivers
or re-apply the old ones

I have had that happen many times. Today it has happened
twice in the past 15 minutes.

I hope to find out why, but no luck so far.

I did offer a reply...did this not work?

You should update the drivers on your MS wheel mouse

I'm having the same problem: Excel starts fine,
and you can do anything you want until you click
into a cell, or start to select a rectangle.
Then you're stuck trying to select that rectangle
no matter what you do. In otherwords, it appears
as though the double-click to finish selecting isn't
being recognized and handled.

This is not a mouse driver problem (at least not for me):
I'm using the touchpad and built-in buttons on a
Dell Latitude D600 laptop.

Any help appreciated, as at the moment there's no
choice but to use the task manager to kill the
application.
