This is very wierd. Ok, I have an excel spreadsheet opened, there is data in the spread sheet. When I want to highlight a cell or change the text color it doesnt do anything, it stays the same. Here is the wierd part, when I save the spread sheet, put it on the share, open it from another computer the spreadsheet open with the higlighted cell and different color text. So it appears to be doing everything without displaying it. Also if I log in with a different profile on the same computer everything is perfect. I re-installed office, repaired the installation, downloaded updates,check for spyware. Im thinking is something with that users profile? Or is there a feature in excel that im missing. What else can I do? Re-installing windows would be the last resort.....Any thought on this guys?

Sounds like you have a corrupt profile. You can try to delete then recreate a new profile with the required characteristics.
