Excel Launches without without worksheet visable until minimized

[pghtech]

Microsoft Office 2007 - Excel : When launching an .xls file it opens Excel
with just the Excel window and no worksheet visable (not even minimized). If
you minimize Excel to your task bar completely, it minimizes and than
automatically maximizes back open with the worksheet now visable.

I have done the following without success:
- Repaired
- Uninstalled
- Used the Office removal wizard to complete remove
- reinstalled using different CD

What is the fix?

This happens with all XLS files?
Are you double clicking on opening through File-Open?
If not then does this also happen if you already have Excel open?

Try to create a new XLS in 2007 (Save As-> Excel 97-2003) and see whether
this still happens.

I'm having the same issue. Most of the work files I use are Excel 2003 files,
however 2007 files are treated the same way: When I dbl click a file to open
it Excel opens but the file itself does not. When I minimize the program it
pops back open automatically within a second and the file is there. Can't
seem to figure this one out.

If Excel is open but no file is opened within it and I dbl click a
spreadsheet it does in fact open up without the need to minimize the program.

Not a huge deal, but definitely an annoyance!
