0157: Invalid Page Fault

I have a workbook with multiple worksheets, but one
worksheet is causing an error:

"EXCEL caused an invalid page fault in module EXCEL.EXE at
0157:303e131a"

Prior to the error, when any cell with an in-cell dropdown
is selected a cell comment from a totally seperate cell is
displayed (complete with arrow pointing to the other cell).
The comment is the same one regardless of which in-cell
dropdown cell is selected.

There is one other outstanding thing about this sheet, one
cell displays the in-cell dropdown arrow, even though it
is not the selected cell.

Fixes I've tried are:
Remove the cell comment being displayed
Result: The next cell comment is displayed

Remove in-cell dropdowns
Result: In-cell dropdown arrow is still displayed for one
cell, worksheet works normally otherwise. However the in-
cell dropdowns are required so this isn't a permanent
solution.

Copy/Paste over the top of the problem cells
Result: No change

As the cells are linked to other cells in the workbook
deleting them isn't really an option.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this
behaviour?

Thanks.

Interesting!

Could you send that book to me (possibly with sensitive information
removed)? I'd like to have a look.
