Default Color Problems

My shop has just gotten new PC's (all machines were created from the same
image) Office 2003 is loaded. One of my co-workers is have a very strange
problem with her excel. Any workbooks loaded on her PC are displayed on the
screen with out any color (text color or background). The same file when
loaded on my PC shows the colors properly. The appearance is as if the
entire worksheet had been selected and then the background color was set to
"no fill".

Things that have been checked:
1. Options|Colors|Reset colors; no change
2. Using the quick color assignment toolbar buttons (the proper color
selections appear with the button-drop-down, but clicking the button will not
assign any color)
3. The workbook and worksheet are UN-protected (changes are allowed- Bold
setting still works on the appearance of the data)
4. Page-Setup|sheet|Black and White is NOT checked and even if it is checked
the screen colors do not change untill you look at a print-preview.
5. Display Properties|Color is set to Highest(32-bit)
6. Screen Saver is one of the default WindowsXP settings.

What could cause this?
Before we un-install and re-install Office... does anyone have any ideas of
something else to try?
