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 new mouse and driver on the machine.

we had a similar problem in one of our computers(windows98-excel 2000).we
deleted the files in c:\windows\temp folder and rebooted the computer . it seemed to have become ok. but after some days the same problem arose and we had to do the same again.
