Solid Black Box that is about the Height of two standard lines. |

Judy:
Sorry for the previous blank post. Did you ever resolve this problem? Last friday (9/22) the same thing happened to me "all of a sudden" and I can't get it to go away. Thanks.

No, I never resolved it. I did not receive any responses to my original query.
Sorry, I just live with it until I hear how to correct it. "CardonRich" wrote: Judy: Sorry for the previous blank post. Did you ever resolve this problem?

hi
I have the same problem It happened after i installed the update for Internet Explorer 7. Has anyone been able to fix this problem?

Hi Folks:
When I've had a chance I been exploring the causes of this problem. Alas, I too have not found the "ultimate" solution. However, I needed to rebuild my machine recently and in the process reloaded the Office suite. Upon opening Excel the "black box" problem was gone. I believe that there is a part of Excel, or the Registry, or both that gets corrupted thus causing the problem. If one of you are adventurous enough, you might try a "repair" by rerunning the Office setup, selecting only Excel, and just let it put the product back to the "default" state. Note: if you have any special settings or add-ins they will probably not be there after the repair, so be sure to make a note of them before hand. I didn't think to try this when I was having the problem and I doubt I could reproduce it now. I'll stay on the "notify" list for this problem to see what you find or answer questions if I can. Best of luck to you all. ---Rich P.S.: Kassie, please do not hit your mouse wheel "quite hard" or hard at all. A mouse click is a mouse click is a mouse click and the amount of pressure doesn't make a difference (except to the mouse, that is) at all to the signal sent to the application.
