Windows 7 + Excel 2010 causing taskbar problems

Morning,

I've been racking my brains about this one lately as we have more users switching over to Windows 7.

I'm convinced it's Excel causing memory problems, but I'm unsure.

When working with excel for a short time, we're unable to switch to any other window on the taskbar. It's as if Excel is taking priority over anything else that is open on the taskbar. For example, if we have Outlook, Internet Explorer & Excel open, when we click out of Excel to go into Outlook, nothing will happen, but it seems as if it's bringing the window up in the backgroud.

We can fix this by closing Excel and starting it up again, but alas, some more usage and it starts again.



Both Windows 7 and Office are right upto date.

Any ideas anyone? Your help is much appreciated.

Morning,

Apologies for the delay, I had a family emergency on Friday afternoon.

Anyways:

'For example, do you get the same problems if Excel is NOT open? Is there anything in Group Policies that could be controlling this?'

No to both of these Golden, I could understand if we had another program that was causing it aswell, but it's only when Excel is being used. We don't have any unique Group Policies configured.

Does this happen with all of the current Windows 7 + Office 2010 Users?

Yes.
