Excel screws up my computer display
After Excel 2007 has been idle for a while odd pieces of the Excel window
start showing up in the wrong place on the screen. If I right-click the bar that shows the Excel is open, then it is all black and the "Close" and other choices don't come up until I point to where they should be. If I close Excel and open it again everything is fine. I do not have to restart the computer, just Excel. Excel also does not seem to close properly when I use the shutdown button in windows. None of the other Office programs cause any trouble. Does anybody know what causes this? Dave Gilblom |

Excel screws up my computer display
Hi,
Excel 2007 is graphically intense, so if your computer graphic - card + monitor aren't up to speed so to speak, this may not refresh correctly. I have seen screen savers which put pieces of the screen in the wrong place and when you move the mouse not everything refreshes correctly. One solution I have found is to just minimize and restore Excel, then everything clears up. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Dave Gilblom" wrote: After Excel 2007 has been idle for a while odd pieces of the Excel window start showing up in the wrong place on the screen.

Excel screws up my computer display
Shane,
Thanks, but minimizing doesn't work. When I maximize, the ribbon is blank until I run the mouse cursor over it. Then I can paint all the buttons and pictures back on. I will try adding a graphics card, though. Right now, I'm using the motherboard graphics. Dave "ShaneDevenshire" wrote in message ...

I've had this problem with two different EVGA cards and up to date drivers. No particular solution has been found by me, although some tweaks have made things a bit better. --ron |
