Default Excel-can't turn off multiple cell selection or add text/numbers

When I open a spread sheet and left click my mouse in a cell, I can't enter
any data. If I move the mouse, it highlights the cells the cursor touches
and I can't turn that off. Hitting the Esc key does nothing. I'm locked out
of all the toolbar functions. The only way I can terminated the program is
by going to task manager and 'end task'. The EXT indicator isn't on, but
even if it was, I should be able to get out of it by hitting F8. If I try to
X out of Excel by going off the page and selecting anything, the cells just
keep getting highlighted. Yes, I've reinstalled the program. I'm using
Windows XP Pro with Office 2003
