I have no idea...

But David McRitchie has a bunch of notes that deal with the misbehavior of mice
and excel.

What kind of mouse do you use?
USB/PS2
Logitech/MS Intellipoint/etc

Make sure you have the current drivers and post back with more details it that
doesn't help. (Maybe someone will have overcome the same problem as you.)

This happened with 98 and XP office versions on my computer.

Thanks for your time,
