So...yes it did appear to be the printer driver...in this case I had not
installed a printer on this machine, by chance last night I added a network
printer because I actually needed to printe something and had not tried Excel
since, but seems to be working perfectly now...thx!

Thanks Dave I will try that tonight, I do not use a printer on this machine,
never installed one but I can still change the drivers up a bit...

I don't use xl2007 to be helpful, but in earlier versions of excel, changing the
printer (or printer driver) sometimes helps.

Excel and most (all?) windows programs will use the printer driver to determine
how to display stuff on the screen.

There have been posts that say changing from a network printer to a local
printer helps--or even getting a new/fresh printer driver helps.

In Excel 2007 when I right click on a cell, go to and choose Formats it takes
about 12-15 seconds to open and then once I complete my task it takes at
least 12-15 seconds to close the window once I press "X". Novice here...
