menus and toolbars disappearing in excel 2003

Hi,

I have MS Office 2003 in a Windows XP Pro (SP2) laptop which I keep
updated. I have noticed that when a spread sheet is opened in the
laptop, the menus and toolbars of the sheet disappear after some time (a
minute or two). I have tried various things: ALT-v, ALT-c ALT-u but
nothing seems to work. Only CTRL-o and some other CTRL functions seem to
work.

Anybody know where I should start debugging the problem or what the
problem exactly is?

thanks,
Sam.

Hi Sam,

I got no answer for you, but all of a sudden I got exactly the same problems.
Whenever I open Excel, the toolbars are there, but disappear after a little
while,
but sometimes they are coming back again to disappear again...
Got Office XP on a desktop.
