Excel 2003 cell references - >32 refs - no more highlighting?

I just got upgraded to Vista and Excel 2003, however one fluke has appeared.
If I reference more than 32 cells within a formula and I hit F2 to edit the
formula, I lose the (previously known) highlighting function, i.e., prior to
this, all the referenced cells would be higlighted in different colors.
Is there some new option I have to select to enable this?

Has nothing to do with upgrading.

Excel has a 30 argument limit so anything over that won't be highlighted.

This didn't happen with Excel in Windows XP

Actually, it deos. I only get highlights for 32 references in Excel 2003 under Windows XP.
