Excel Display/Refresh problems

[Buddy]

I'm having a consistent refresh problems with Excel 2007. I'm running
Windows XP on an HP DV6000 series laptop with 2GB RAM. Software, OS, and
drivers are up to date.

1 of 2 things are happening frequently. The first is that some portion of
the worksheet I'm working on disappears and does not refresh. Usually
scrolling the section off and back on the screen fixes the problem, but
sometimes I have the close the file and re-open it. The second is that the
top part of the Excel window (title bar, system menu and controls, and
ribbon) disappears. Everything is fine in the workbook area, but I can't do
anything related to the area that's disappeared. I have to close Excel and
re-start it to fix this problem.

Has anyone seen (and fixed) either of these problems before? Any ideas on
how to troubleshoot the problems?

Thanks,

Buddy

Hi,

In reference to your second issue, I have seen the exact same behavior on
one of the many PCs for which I provide support. I've been looking around on
the web to see if anyone else has seen the issue and they have been few and
far between, without any suggested resolution. If I figure out what going on
I'll be sure to post the resolution.
