Default When I select a cell in Excel I cannot deselect it. Ideas?

Good day,

When I select, or click on, a cell in the spreadsheet, I cannot get it to
release. I hit escape, I try to enter text, I try to click on another part of
the spreadsheet, and I try, and fail, to right click. But the cell remains
selected and if I move the cursor it drags and highlights other cells.

If I go outside the spreadsheet I can select help or one of the other
choices on the bar but I remain locked to that one cell in the spreadsheet.

I have to go to Task Manager to kill the program to get out of it.

I received Microsoft updates recently, within the past day or two.
I ran a Macafee virus check today. Updated my signatures yesterday, 9/15/06.
I ran a spyware check today.

Have I selected some feature inadvertently that I need to deselect?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

thanks,

john
