Clicking the wheel on your mouse a few times may help, if not re-install the

Running XP, Excel 2003.
Excel had been working fine.
When I open Excel, the mouse works normally until I click on a cell. Then
it behaves as if the left button is being held down. Clicking, ESC,
keyboard
shortcuts do not work. This happens with old and new documents.
Please help!
