Default Excel highlighting issue

Get the latest mouse driver you can find. That fixed it for me

| Hi all have a bizzare issue with excel XP edition that me and my technical
| staff have been unable to solve.
|
| A user can use excel fine for differing periods of time before excel
| randomly selects cell and highlights them. No amount of clicking anywhere
on
| the worksheet turns the highlighting off and all the data in the cells
gets
| dragged around with the cursor. The only way to exit is to power off as
user
| has no CTRL ALT DEL access. Have looked into Excel templates and settings
and
| even replaced the mouse and keyboard as a last desperate act.
| There are no macros that we can detect running on the machine or the
| spreadsheet. The issue happens in any opened spreadsheet and only to this
| user currently but has happened before to different users.
|
| Any help you can give guys/galls will be hugely appreciated.
