I have a user using windows XP and excel 2007.  When this user tries to filter something in excel the boxes aren't coming up so she can check the dates... See attached. The user to this point has been rebooting - but to me that's  not a solution.  Any help would be appreciated.

Excel 2007 issue

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.
