When you see weird things like this, the first thing to always try is detect
and repair. That can't hurt anything if it doesn't work, and a lot of
times, it DOES work.
I've been looking thru the MS newsgroups and I see this question there a
couple times, but with no real answer...except that possibly the spreadsheet
is corrupt. Is it happening in ALL spreadsheets or just one? If it's in
all spreadsheets, definitely try detect and repair. If it's only in one
spreadsheet, try highlighting all of the data and copy it, then open a new
blank workbook and use Paste Special to paste "values"...this will remove
all formatting in the cells and just paste the values (unfortunately, it
will remove formulas too, but it's the only way to see if there's some weird
formatting problem in the original workbook)....then try changing the
background color on the new workbook...if it works there, then I would
suspect either corruption or some conditional format, like David suggested.

Sorry, missed that one. No, I did not, he was offline and office was
installed through an administrative share on the network so I didn't think
it would work since the media was on the network.
