Problems with office 2003 & Vista Ultimate

[MDO]

I have looked through various discussion groups and have not seen a similar
problem. I am currently running Vista Ultimate (32 bit) with an Intel E6400
chip and 4 gig of ram.

When I open an Excel file and go to the page set-up, my screen start
pulsating and it is difficult to get the drop-down menues to work. At the
same time I have a small circle that indicates the program is grinding away.
I have had similar issues with Word when I try to print an envelope. This
has also happened with other software applications such as Quicken 2008.

Rebooting the machine temporaily solves the problem, but not alway.

Any ideas what might be the problem?

1. Did you install all the Office 2003 Updates?
2. Have you tried: "help">Detect and Repair in Office 2003?

I have installed all of the Office updates as well as Vista updates.

I am running Windows Live One Care.

What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is installed? There
are some that cause problems.
