Object Icon not displaying in Excel

Question

I am trying to insert an Excel Workbook into another Excel Workbook.  The way I do this is to click in a cell where I want the object to go.  Then from the toolbar I click "Insert" and then "Object."  In the box that opens, I click the tab that says "Create from file" and then I Browse to find the file on my network. 

It does not seem to matter which combination of "Link to file" or "Display as Icon" I seem to check or uncheck.  No matter what I do, once I insert the object I receive a white box instead of an Excel icon.  This has only happened since my IT department gave me a new laptop running Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, and it does not seem to consistently happen.  Two months ago I got the image to display.  The next month the files were copied to a different folder on the network, so I went to update the objects and it went back to being a white box.  I cannot figure out why this image doesn't display.  Any ideas? 

Also, I have found that if I keep only the "Display as Icon" checked and I think it has worked and I see the Excel icon, as soon as I save the file it displays a small box with a blank piece of paper inside of it.  The links still work, I can double click that object and it opens, but I cannot consistently seem to display the Excel icon for an object I'm inserting.  Thanks!

Check with locally saved file and check if it is some thing to do with the file corruption.
