I have a user who has XP and sometimes when she is working and clicks on say one particular Network Drive in My Computer, it highlights all of the other drives or if she is working in Excel random cells will highlight when she is clicking and working. Is this a mouse issue or something else?

IF the keyboard ALT key or CTRL key were getting invoked, then multiple selections could occur.

Also, be very suspect of any mouse-related utilties, as these can do strange things sometimes.

Maybe some accessibility feature has been enabled like the sticky-keys option for the mouse. Look in the 'acessibility options' section of control panel.
