Check that Win 3.0 is NOT running in REAL or STANDARD mode with the old
version of Excel, i.e. 2.10. One other thing you could try is that install
the mis-behaved version on your other computer and see if it behaves any 
differecnt.

Are you saving the file as NORMAL or is it some other format?
Try the following open the file, size it to the desired size and then
save it as NORMAL. It always worked for me.

Hope this helps.
