Macro - square remains on screen
Weird question but I am sure that you know the answer.
When I run a macro, an image from another application or my desktop, if nothing else is open, remains on my screen when in excel. It is small, 1 inch, but it is anoying and will not go away unless I shut down excel and reopen. I am guessing that it is from screen updating and I could turn that off but I was wondering if there is another solution. It is like there is a hole in my excel sheet and I can see through to whatever is behind it. Anybody know what I am talking about? |

Yeah, what the hell is that? I thought it was just me. It doesn't
happen often, but it's always in the same place, just southeast of the center of the screen. Screenupdating doesn't seem to help it to disappear. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP http://www.geocities.com/jonpeltier/Excel/index.html _______ Jim wrote: Weird question but I am sure that you know the answer.

Ditto problem. Thought it was a video card problem?
If the graph expert (Jon), doesn't know, I guess no one does. "Jim" wrote in message ... Weird question but I am sure that you know the answer.

Jon,
1. On excel 97, I can't remember it happening there either. But, at my age? 2. It seems to appear about the middle of the ws from right to left and usually around the formula bar or below. I have a Dell 820, nvidia video, P4, windows xp home, xl2002. 3. I have NOT been able to figure out why it appears and it will NOT go away without exit and re-enter xl. "Jon Peltier" wrote in message ... A bit of background may help. I don't recall ever seeing it in Excel 97, in a number of systems (Win95 and 92, 2000). I do see it on my WinXP laptop running Excel 2000. What are you guys using, and where is the blank patch? - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP http://www.geocities.com/jonpeltier/Excel/index.html _______ Don Guillett wrote: Ditto problem.

Wow, the whole World seems to have the problem and everyone just thought
they were alone! I'm another with Excel2K on WinXP (Thinkpad R32 Laptop, 1.7Ghz, 1Gb RAM, 17Gb HDD with a 2Gb page file). It's usually when I've been working on some very large files (although not too near the 70Mb filesize that Excel bombs out at). I'd put it down to the system grabbing back and then losing memory that had been taken by the graphics card. ------------------------------------------------ ~~ Message posted from http://www.ExcelTip.com/ ~~ View and post usenet messages directly from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |
