Excel 2007 data not showing until clicking cell

We're in the process of updating all our work laptops from Office 2003 to
Office 2007 and one of the laptops we upgraded is doing something we've never
seen before, and so far have not found a remedy. When opening any file it
will not show any data until you click in a cell. This happens whether it's
a spreadsheet that was created in 2003, or one we just created in 2007, saved
it, then tried to open it. It always does the same thing, it doesn't show
anything until you click in a cell. There is no error, and once you click in
a cell all the data pops up. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Ken

You might find some ideas here
http://smurfonspreadsheets.wordpress.com/2009/04/14/excel-2007-screen-...eo-issu
and the other posts that it links to.
Specifically check which add-ins you have loaded (normal and COM) and
any auto start workbooks (look in the XLSTART directory), in particular
pdf creator components.
