Using excel 2007 when clicking on a previously saved spreadsheet icon, whether it was made in office 2007 or 2003, excel opens up but does not display the spreadhseet. To get it to display you must click the restore down or restore up button the sheet displays. This is happening on my machine here at home. I did look through some other posts about unchecking the ignore other applications but that has not worked. I run XP SP2 home edition, AMD Athlon 64 3800+, one gig of ddr ram, 512mb radeon graphics card etc. and my browser of choice is opera. I believe my machine should be up to the task of running excel flawlessly...right? Are there any suggestions ? Thank you in advance for any help you could offer me.	Sanco (683)

This leaves me to think that it could well be my machine not wanting to interact with office 2007 in a friendly way, maybe. I should therefore scour the wider internet for answers. Thank you all the same.	Sanco (683)

Then reopen the worksheet hopefully it will remember its last state Open the worksheet by double clicking on as opposed to stating excell and using file open. What I think has happen is that you have closed excell whilst this spreadsheet/worsheet was minimzed and its remembered its last state, therefore each time its opened it does so in a minimized state.	beama (111)
554842	2007-06-04 07:30:00	Firstly, thank you beama for you reply and offer of help. Unfortunately I don't think I have been very clear on what is actually happening. My bad. The issue I am experiencing it's actually not an isolated one, as I've learned by googling the net. In short, the spreadsheet opens up...but does not display the contents (the last inputed data, to be specific). So, I have the excel sreadsheet in front of me but, alas there is no data showing in the bottom field. I have tried to wait up to 5 minutes - a heck of a long time by all accounts for an application to do "it's thing" - but nothing would happen unless I clicked on a task on the spreadsheet virtually "reviving" the app. This makes me think there is a micro-freeze issue here, something I have experienced recently with my browser Opera when I click on hyperlinks...and this has happened since I have purchased and installed the very expensive office 2007 "upgrade"...hummm So, where to from here?

I'm not familiar with the 2007 version but previous versions of office suite, repair was done from the control panel add remove programs applet one last question are you using vista	beama (111)

I had a similar issue, not as bad though. Have you tried unchecking your "check for .... on startup" options?	the_bogan (9949)
