Excel 2002 switches video mode on startup

[bb]

Office Xp runs fine except starting Excel switches to
640x480, with toolbar icons much larger than normal. The
screen momentarily goes black when switching from 800x600
and the comes up in the 640x480 mode. Have uninstalled
Office XP and reinstalled but effect is still there. Word,
Powerpoint etc work fine. A macro virus? Have deleted
personal.xls and excel.tlb but no good.
