Try going to the last row which has data, then selecting down a lot of rows 
(a few hundred) and deleting (not clearing) them (the whole rows).
Do the same with columns, from the last column you have data on forward.
Then save the file and try it out.
This should solve your problem. If it doesn't work, you can always do it 
through a simple macro (put it in your workbook in the "This Workbook" area 
in the VBA editor:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
     Worksheets("Your_Worksheet").ScrollArea = "A1:LastAddress"
End Sub

Where Your_Worksheet is the worksheet name and LastAddress is the address 
of the last cell you want to be able to scroll to in the worksheet (for 
example, BC990).
You can have as many such lines inside the sub as worksheets you want to 
limit the scroll in. This is also useful when you want to limit an user 
from scrolling to an area of the worksheet you don't want him to.
Only problem with the macro is that you have to edit it when you want to 
use more rows or columns than you were using before.
