There are isolated problems with current patches, but they are well-known and documented on this site. |
In Excel the sole worksheet window is in the ‘independent’ pane mode (as it would be if windows were tiled). I cannot get it out of this state.
Clicking the ‘maximize’ button toggles it bigger and smaller, always retaining a maximize button (there is never a ‘restore down’ button). It remains as an independent window.
Any clues?

Thanx for the interest.
Yes – it happens for all spreadsheets {new; old; small;big}, after all restarts.
Since I posted, I totalled removed the whole of the Office XP application and reinstalled it.
Fascinatingly, it remembered all my old settings (why am I unsurprised) and is still exhibiting the problem.
My home machine is an XP multi-user machine and the problem always occurs on my account – not others.
My current theory it is some registry Key related to my profile. System restore is my next planned trick.

Folks
I’ve appreciated all the help. The problem is now fixed!
I discovered that after the re-install Office wanted to do some strange ‘installing’ every time it ran.
To cut a long story short, I eventually discovered that it only happend for my login code, and not for the rest of the family’s.
Accordingly, I created a new user code, and blew away the old one.
