I have recently moved to a new machine, and now the cell shading in my
spreadsheets no longer display without going to print-preview. I've
looked
through all the view settings I can find and this one doesn't seem to be
anyplace.

Is there something I should try to do short of reinstalling the product to
try to correct this?

If this is a problem with all Excel files with coloured cells, the Windows OS
high contrast setting may be turned on. There is information in the
following MSKB article:

OFF: Changes to Fill Color and Fill Pattern Are Not Displayed
