[Excel] Transparent Opening of a File

Solved

Hello,

I am using Excel 2007. My issue is quite strange:

When I open an Excel file, the software launches correctly but! my file does not display. I have to click on "Open" and close the window for my file to finally show up in the spreadsheet.

I ran the Office Diagnostics (provided by default in Office Tools), it repaired some errors, but not this one...

What should I do? Where could the problem come from?
I will try uninstalling/reinstalling to see if it has any effect on the transparent opening.

Thank you in advance for any other suggestions!

      It doesn't work either. However, I found the solution!

      In the end, the first intuition was the right one: I looked in the Startup and Xlstart folders in the original office folders: nothing. But I hadn't checked the startup and xlstart folders in C:\Documents and Settings\login\Application Data\Microsoft\Word | Excel \Startup | xlstart\.
      There you'll find PDFMaker.dot or PDFMaker.xla. You can either delete them or move them.

      Thank you for your help!

      I disabled hardware graphics acceleration in advanced options. This is method 6 from Office support. It works.

      To display the file that is not showing, you need to:
      - Open the file that is not displaying
      - Click on the "View" icon
      - Then click on "Arrange All" and choose "Mosaic" and click OK
      Finally, the page is displayed correctly
      Best regards.
