Dissapearing tick box

I am using Excel 2003 with Vista Home Premium

The red cross and green tick adjacent to the formula bar (to
confirm or reject entries) are only visible intermittently.
Sometimes the blue background shows, sometimes it shows white,
but they reappear when the mouse hovers over where they should
be.

They also appear quite pixelated, compared with everything else
on screen. I am not aware of any memory problems.

Another, maybe related, oddity is that anything added to existing
cell contents, on the formula bar, appears lower than the
original characters. Once accepted, it rises into alignment.

Is it just me?

Might be better if you don those dancing shoes and waltz down the
hall to
Microsoft.public.excel.worksheet.functions.
Those blokes are the excel experts, this is an OS orientated NG.

Wherever do you get the idea from? It is a generic Excel group.
 
I don't have Vista Chris, and judging from your questions I am not seeing
any reason to get it, but I thought they had ditched those images in Excel
2003. I don't have them on XP.

Perhaps Microsoft.public.excel then.
More specific help for excel in the excel orientated NGs there than
one would expect here ?

Your logic has lost me. An NG that has Excel in its title would seem to an
excel orientated NG, and that is exactly what it has been in the years that
I have been visiting it.

Hi, it was cross posted to the two groups.

Perhaps because the OP wasn't sure if the video issues are something
from Vista?

How many years does it take to understand cross-posting?

ss.
 
The guy wrote, and I quote ... Might be better if you don those

Now as the OP HAD posted to an Excel NG, his statement was ludicrous, as is
yours.

Absolutely.

I have tried asking this same question before, and got absolutely
no response at all in the excel group. This time I thought I
would widen the field, but unfortunately the result has been
rather introspective.

Maybe nobody else has ever experienced the problem, but this
seems statistically unlikely.

True - I'm using Excel 2007, I don't see the *red* cross and *green* tick
specifically. The icons are there but just in a different style - italic,
and normal black colour in the formula bar.

I seem to remember the last Excel version to use the red / green icons was
Excel 2000.
