Missing objects in worksheet (e.g. command button)

I have Office 2003 with SP2 installed from clean on my PC, I created a few
spreadsheets on Office XP and now need to make some mods, I copied them to
this PC but the command buttons are not showing up, not only that but if I
create a new worksheet and try to draw a new commandbutton there is no back
ground to it.

If I try to draw a new command button on a new sheet, no matter how big I
draw it it snaps back to being 4 small squares, if I grab one of these and
enlarge it there is no background just an empty shape - like it can't find a
backgroud. This behavior affects all objects in the control toolbox menu.

I can still execute the VBA through the debug tool but not from the
worksheet (via the command button because button is not showing up).

I'm not a tech type, but it could be the references. What version of Excel
was the XP running? Go into the VBE>Tools>References and see if it shows any
missing.

Actually it is the same version and that is Excel 2003. I don't know what
else to do; repair, uninstall-install don't do any good.
