Hopefully someone will have mentioned it to TPTB at Dropbox by

then and a fixed version will be out.

For Office *2007*? I don't think Dropbox will spend any time
fixing
their newest version program on an archaic version of Office whose
standard support ended back in October 2012 and whose *extended*
support
ends in a couple months in October 2017. Of course, any company
is
willing to expend resources on any project if you pay them enough.


I have Windows 7 64 bit, Office Enterprise 2007 and Dropbox. All
are fully up to date, all have been together for several years; and
there's absolutely no sign of the OP's problem.
Mind you, in DBox settings I have no to MS Office add-in, and
"Never Show" for DBox Badge.


As a matter of interest, try turning DBox Badge on and see if it plays up for you.
It only takes a few seconds to turn it on and off.

A batch to toggle Dropbox on/off

Replace "CALL COLOR.bat Y" with "ECHO" if you do not have Color.bat
Remove "Change CMD Window..." section if you do not have Nircmd

@ECHO OFF
