Hi Jacob,

You can use a custom colour palette in Excel, and new workbooks will open
with the default colours. You should also be able to reset the colour
palette. Therefore something is changeing the default Excel behaviour.

Other things you can check;

- Press alt-F11 to show the VBA Editor. The left-hand pane should show all
the projects loaded in Excel (if you cant see this press Ctrl-R to show the
Project Explorer). The list of projects should include your currently opened
workbooks and any add-ins that you are running. Check that the list does not
include an add-in that you may not have loaded yourself.

- Have a look in the XLSTART folder for any add-ins or workbooks that load
whenever Excel is started. The folder is usually found at C:\Documents and
Settings\Your User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
