Excel problems when using Powertools for XP

[Kash]

Hi,

I'm using the MS Virtual Desktop Manager, one of the
powertools for XP. When switching to a desktop that
contains Excel applications, Excel loses all its menus and
toolbars. Shortcuts are still accessible (e.g CTRL+S so I
don't lose any work) but I can't access anything else.
If I shut down excel and start it up - everything is
restored until I switch desktops again.
Is anyone else encountering such issues or know a way to
get around this (other than removing MSVDM, as I find this
a very useful application)?

Thanks

Kash

Is anyone else encountering such issues
Sure thing

or know a way to get around this

minimize Excel, switch to another desktop, switch back, restore Excel
or
Get Ms Office 2003 - I have heard the problem was fixed there

(other than removing MSVDM, as I find this
a very useful application)?

Removing MSVDM is an excellent idea. There is a number of better VDMs:
