In at least one case I've heard of, this problem was fixed when a printer
was installed. Apparently Excel needs the printer driver to help render the
full page chart.

Since you're just now rolling out the computers, this seems to make sense.
Many of the users may not have tried printing yet, so they would not be
assured of having a printer. If there are different hardware configurations
when the laptops are undocked (i.e., specifically no printer installed when
undocked), this explains the dual behavior. Install any generic printer
driver.

I am in the middle (60%) done rolling out Dell 430 or Dell 630 laptops to
2,500 users.

Some, not all when they create a graph do not see anything:-

Windows Vista, Office 2007

Create a Graph, F11 or Full screen the screen is all blue (the background
colour)

This seems to happen when users undock their laptops from a docking
station
not then connected.

Any help appreciated.
