Opening Excel 2003 Changes Color Depth to 8 bit - Yuk!

Using Fusion Version 2.0 (116369) running Windows XP Pro (SP 2) on MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.5, 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB SDRAM). Have installed MS Office 2003 (with SP 3) several times. Whenever I open Excel 2003 the screen Color Quality setting automatically changes to Low (8-bit). If I quit Excel the color setting immediately goes back to how it was originally set (Highest (32-bit)). After opening Excel, I can go into the Control Panel/Display/Settings and change the Color Quality back to 32-bit and it will stay that way, but that is a pain.

Anyone have any ideas? I have not been able to find any setting in in Windows, Fusion, or Office to prevent this from happening
