    Excel starts scrolling on its own
    I have an intermittent, but recurring, problem in Excel 2003 running under Windows XP

    While I am working in a spreadsheet:

    - cannot move from cell to cell
    - moving the mouse "blocks" an area on the screen (scroll lock is off)
    - it starts scrolling down & will not stop
    - the only way that I can exit is via Task Manager
    - have to restart the PC in order to get back into a functional copy of Excel
    - I am typically running Outlook and IE at the same time as Excel

    Have downloaded all product updates; have had Excel deleted from the PC and reloaded.
    The problem went away for a while after the reload, but has now returned.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Bob:)

    Have you contacted MS about this, have you searched MSDN knowledge base about this also. There are Excel Foums also available.

    cellMatrix.net

    Try to ask for help on some of these also. Have you tried uninstalling your mouse and keyboard software, I know the drivers are built into every XP for everything and you don't normally need to load drivers for these things, try another mouse and keyboard set from a different maker, swap with a friend for a little while.

    "moving the mouse "blocks" an area on the screen" - I've had this many times. Usually, one of the shift keys is stuck. Tap (or tap harder) on the shift keys to "unstick" it.
