The type of cursor displayed is normally determined by a setting in Windows.
Although, you can change the cursor using VBA code in Excel.
Go to Control panel and double click "mouse".
You will see options to change the cursor.

border of the cell (from black to any other color) my cursor selects
and not the actual cell from the spreadsheet. Or, change the color of
the cell temporarily being selected but not actually change the shade
of that cell within that spreadsheet which of course is easy. I hope
this makes sense.

Pete gave you about the only option available.

You could upgrade to xl2003.
Or experiment with the color of the sheet gridlines. You might be able to get more contrast that way?
