Excel documents do not display when opened

[Guest]

When I double-click and Excel document, the program will launch but the
document is not displayed. Minimizing the window if it is maximized or vice
versa solves causes the document to show up. This only happens when opening
the document directly. It will display right away when opened using the open
command in Excel. This happens whether the document is opened locally, from a
network or from email. The behavior does not change.

It is not similar to eariler reported incidents by other users in that I
have all my toolbars and such. I am able to minimize the window and view the
ribbon. The document and the window associated with it are the only things
that do not display right away.

I am using Office 2007 Professional with Windows XP SP2.


What could be causing this problem?

I found a solution to this problem in another thread.

I had to uninstall Adobe Acrobat and Reader, then delete XLSTART from the
Office 12 folder. This caused Office to repair itself. Everything now opens
as expected.

After fixing the issue, I was able to reinstall both Acrobat and Reader
without problems.
