When I launch Excel 2003, my mouse behaves as if the left click is stuck. I
cannot change the mouse to a pointer (to get to the toolbar, for example) or
any other functions. I have tried repairing and reinstalling, no luck. When
I launch Excel from my remote work desktop (at the same PC), it works fine.
I am running Windows XP
 
I am having some similar issues running Excel 2003 and Windows XP. However
I've only seen the problem when I've arranged files side by side. I've not
had any luck yet with a solution, including changing out my mouse.

Coincidence?

Click to expand...

I don't believe this is a mouse problem, as I can launch Excel by connecting
remotely to my work desktop (same mouse) and have no problem.
 
Have you tried holding down the shift button for like 10 seconds?
Could it be that your shift button locked on you cause you held it down
to long?
 
Have you got any luck with this issue?
I have the exact same problem with a user and also try re-installing and
repair with no results.

Let me know.
