Software
Running XP Pro, SR2 Office 2000. XL opens and first click begins range selection. No matter what I do I cannot end the process. Cannot open any menu selections, no right clicks, nothing. Invoking ctrl alt del and terminating application takes 3 times or more to work. Have repaired install. Any suggestions.

Hi Ron,
Short of reinstalling Excel or Office, have you checked your XLStart folder for rogue templates? You could try deleting files in that folder and recreate a new template through Excel's tools menu. Sounds like something unusual is happening if it takes three attempts to kill the excel process.

here is the article talking about it (plus suggesting you might need to reinstall mouse,keyboard drivers). (did this work fine before, is xl the only app giving this problem, do you have 2 problems (one is that XL is starting up?) and have you tried a new mouse)
