When I open Excel (Office 2000) and click with my mouse in a cell, the mouse highlights every cell that the mouse pointer points at, and excel stops responding?

Are you using a Logitech mouse? There is an incompatibility between Office 2000 and the Logitech Enhanced Control Center and the Logitech mouse driver version 6.42. See Microsoft Support article #Q240325 for details if this is the case. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q240/3/25.ASP (no spaces)
Usually this kind of problem is caused by a mouse problem. Either the software is faulty, or you have conflicts in IRQ or I/O addresses.
Yip, I've heard of that problem too. Have been surfing for tips, but no info as of yet. Help greatly appreciated. NOTE: After reinstalling Office/Excel the problem does disappear for a short while, then all of a sudden it comes back. No logitech mouse here either. Trackpoint on a laptop... OS: Win2K
Thank you for your input, but I'm in the same boat as you! I have to uninstall then reinstall office to get the problem to stop. I can't seem to find any tips on this either??? And as far as I know, there are not any settings for the "mouse" in Excel???
Are you using a scrolling mouse? If so and the scroll button gets stuck it will select all cells pointed to. Just double click the scroll button and it's okay. I am an instructor and this happens a lot in my beginning classes. Hope this is your problem.
