Excel problem

This is quite odd, and I hope someone can help me. I wasn't sure where to go to ask and Microsoft as bad as a rubber crutch.

Here is the problem: I open a new Excel workbook, type a 1 anywhere on the sheet and instead of a 1, it prints the number 360. Hit 1 and get 360! Doesn't matter if it is the first cell, middle of the page or anywhere. 1 always is 360.

Help!!

Well, I don't know what the initial cause of this problem was, but I finally found a work around. Upon further examination, I found that the problem was not only effecting Excel but in addition, every other application in his system. I decided that it had to be in the profile, so to test that the problem was unique, I logged on with another employee's profile and found that the problem was only on the profile of the owner of the computer.

So...I saved everything, deleted his profile and reinstalled it. All of the 1's were now 1's, and I must say, I am a happy camper! I solved a problem :)

Bottom line - if anyone else encounters this highly unusual problem, here is the solution!
