Not that this helps you but I've also got Excel 2007 opening with a blue
blank screen, no toolbars at top, bottom status bar
appears at top and the page is frozen. All other products in Suite open
correctly although there does seem to be a short hesitation of a blank screen
before the correct display appears???

Excel 2007 takes its time opening. Runs virus checks. It depends on how fast
your machine is, too.

I'm having the same issue and can't access anything. It started off
randomly, now all files open to a blue screen with Ready in upper left corner
and a zoom slide bar on upper right corner. I can access keyboard commands
and see the appropriate comman letter, but not the menus or the file. Execl
opes this way and I simply can't get it to do anything else. Help!

It seems to be a problem with the Solver Add In.

This is odd, but as I could access the keyboard commands (though still not
see my spreadsheets) I went into Excel options and tried turning off the
addins. Wioth the Solver Add in disabled, Files open normally and excel
opens normally . Once it is reactivated, I'm back to the blue screen. As I
need the solver for my work, can I uninstall it from the system and
re-install it?
