Niek,

I already hit that page. None of it applies to my issue. I hav AUTo
calcualtion turned on, no iteration and if I press F9 or CTRL-ALT F9 or
whatever F9 nothing changes. It just keeps on showing calculate in the status
bar.

If I reinstall Excel, create a new sheet and save/close it. The first time I
re-open it, it still works as it should. It is only by the second time I open
it these issues appear. From then on forward they appear whenever I re-open a
newly created sheet.
