Insisting that something's an Excel issue when your laptop manufacturer has ignored the published standards for the Operating System and applications the laptop is sold for use with does not make it an Excel problem. The problem is with your laptop manufacturer and, as I said in my previous post, the resolution probably depends on the make & model of your laptop and what configuration options it offers.
