Installed new monitor, somehow messed up graphics of MS Office

    I hope this is the right place for this--I couldn't find a more appropriate section.

    Anyway I have a multi-display set up (3) and just replaced the 3rd monitor with a new one.. I had some trouble getting the new one set up and went through a lot of trouble shooting / display settings changes but finally got it working right.

    Everything works fine, but for some reason MS Office 2007 went haywire. I even went through the repair process w/no luck. Here's what it looks like, and this screwy appearance is the same on every monitor and using MS Excel, Outlook, Word, etc. (all 2007).

    Does anyone know what could have caused this? All other software is working fine...

    Still stuck like this... two weeks later. Any ideas anyone? I just upgraded to the "non-beta" version, Enterprise Edition, and it is still screwy. Only office products--everything else looks normal.

    I'm not sure what would cause that; have you talked to a Microsoft support? It's probably a bug with their software.

    On a side note, do you use any multi-monitor managemenet software. I found the program "UltraMon" to be helpful with solving multi-monitor issues and organizing my windows.

    it may be an issue with refresh rates perhaps ?
    have you tried contacting MS ?

    Hm, perhaps the refresh rate has something to do with it--where do you adjust this setting?
