Insert options on chart sheet missing

[tinyskills13]

Hello,
I have noticed that the available options under the insert tab on a chart sheet are different between my home laptop (Vista, Excel2007) and my work PC (XP, Excel2007). On my laptop all the options (i.e., shapes, hyperlinks, text boxes, etc.) are grayed out except for the header & footer button; whereas on the other computer, they are available options. Is there a security setting or something that controls this? I would like to be able to insert those objects on some charts. Thanks.

Is the chart sheet protected?

No, but it randomly started working yesterday. I didn't really change anything. Weird. Thanks for replying.
