spreadsheet all scrambled up

In the last week, my Excel 2007 spreadsheet has encountered problems...all of my spreadsheets, actually.  If I use the scroll button within the Excel document, all the lines get jumbled up and information from a row of cells is crowding into another row of cells.  It looks like a mess.  The only way to "fix it" is to click on the thing that makes the page bigger and then smaller, and it corrects itself back to normal.  If I try to cut from a different document in Excel and scroll down to pick up all the information, the same thing happens.  I can't even tell where I am in the spreadsheet because it's such a jumbled up mess.  Any ideas? 

I run Windows 7, this is Excel 2007 and my NVDIA is updated.  HELP!!

    I think what you are describing can happen if you have the zoom level set to something other than 100%. Go to the View tab, Zoom panel and click the button witht the caption 100% and see if that clears things up for you.

    I emailed it to you directly.  Let's give that a try!

    The only other idea I had was eliminated when you said your graphics card driver was up to date. Any chance you can post the workbook to your skydrive (if you have one) or one of the free file sharing websites on the web (http://www.box.net/files is pretty decent) so we can see if the problem is in your computer or in the workbook? If you are hesitant to post it publicly, and if you trust me not to to anything "bad" with its data, you can send the workbook directly to me and I'll report back here whether the problem is in the workbook or not.... I'll also look to see if I can see any problem if it turns out to be in the workbook. My email address is...

    Interestingly, I was down at the bottom of the page and it appears that it doesn't seem to do what I was talking about if it is in the "Normal" view versus the "page layout" view where I originally had it.  That said, it has ALWAYS been in the page layout view and I never had this problem until about a week or so ago...ironically around the time of some windows updates....
