Font property in Excel VBA causes 100 % CPU loop

M

I am using Excel 2002 SP-2 on a Windows XP machine running a Pentium 4
2.8 GHz processor with 1 Gb RAM.

When building a VBA userform, whenever I click on the properties box to
change the font size for e.g. a label or textbox caption, Excel starts
another process (i.e. I see another Excel process on the Windows task
bar) and consumes close to 100 % of my CPU.

The first couple of times I tried this, Excel eventually brought up the
font properties window (after more than a minute). The third time I
tried this, I had to crash Excel via Windows Task Manager.

At the time of trying to change the font properties, the font was set
to use the default Tahoma font.

This is the first userform in the spreadsheet. I normally use Excel 97
at work - so this is why I haven't encountered this problem before.

Any solution to this would be gratefully received.
