Excel 2007 worksheet switching issue using Windows 7

[Chad]

I too am having this problem and have found that changing the resolution is a
temporary fix. Details of my system are:

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook
Windows 7 Home 64-bit
8 gb ddr3 ram
MS Office 2007
NVIDIA GeForce GT320M

One other thing that I noticed that makes me think that it make not be a
display driver is that when you "undock" the excel workbook from the excel
application so that it is in "window mode," switching between worksheets
works without a hitch, regardless of the resolution of my screen. Any
further insight or ideas into what is causing this problem would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you for everyone's support as this is the only place where I have seen
a discussion on the tpoic. Any further help will be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Chad

Also, the native resolution on my screen is 1600 x 900 (which is less than
the y-1200 mentioned above) and the issues are still prevalent.

Hi Chad,

I too am having this problem and have found that changing the resolution is a
temporary fix.

Unfortunately, I haven't found any indication of a solution so far.

Does it help to change the hardware acceleration settings of your display
driver?

Jan,

Thank you again for your work on this subject. I have adjusted the hardware
acceleratin settings but to no avail. Unfortunately, the issue is still
prevalent. I have also gone throught he process of uninstalling all MS
Office updates (excluding SP2) to see if I could narrow down if it was an
update that is causing the problem, and unfortunately, I was not able to
reach a conclusion that way either.

Please update us if you find anything out.

Thanks again,
Chad

Maybe here is the solution:
A few days ago a hot fix for application “HP Wireless Assistant - 3.50.11.2
(15 IV 2010) - sp48392.exe (3.8 MB)†was released. And the comment is:

“Fixes an issue, which occurs when using Microsoft Excel on a notebook that
is running a 32-bit version of the Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Operating
System, where a pop-up menu is displayed when the Sheet1 tab at the bottom of
the screen is clicked (instead of the tab contents being displayed). The
displayed pop-up menu is the same as the menu you would see if you
right-clicked the window's title bar.â€

Exactly what we need!!! I installed it at once and the issue seems to be
solved. No menu appears, but sometimes I cannot switch by one click, I have
to click several times. But it is certainly improvement.
And good thing is that we know, what the reason is. I will go after new
versions of this driver/application.

For my HP notebook:
