Dissapearing tick box

I am using Excel 2003 with Vista Home Premium

The red cross and green tick adjacent to the formula bar (to
confirm or reject entries) are only visible intermittently.
Sometimes the blue background shows, sometimes it shows white,
but they reappear when the mouse hovers over where they should
be.

They also appear quite pixelated, compared with everything else
on screen. I am not aware of any memory problems.

Another, maybe related, oddity is that anything added to existing
cell contents, on the formula bar, appears lower than the
original characters. Once accepted, it rises into alignment.

Is it just me?

Chris
Might be better if you don those dancing shoes and waltz down the
hall to
Microsoft.public.excel.worksheet.functions.
Those blokes are the excel experts, this is an OS orientated NG.

Wherever do you get the idea from? It is a generic Excel group.

I don't have Vista Chris, and judging from your questions I am not seeing
any reason to get it, but I thought they had ditched those images in Excel
2003. I don't have them on XP.

Perhaps Microsoft.public.excel then.
More specific help for excel in the excel orientated NGs there than
one would expect here ?

Your logic has lost me. An NG that has Excel in its title would seem to an
excel orientated NG, and that is exactly what it has been in the years that
I have been visiting it.

Perhaps because the OP wasn't sure if the video issues are something
from Vista?
