Many thanks for your reply at first!
However, I tried the method you suggested. When I got there, "Disabled Items Window", there is nothing shown there. Meanwhile, I tried to copy a PERSONAL.XLSB from another computer (where the macro recording function and the VBA coding interface work well) to my laptop. The macro recording seems working. But when I open the VBA interface and do something inside it (e.g. resize the windown size of opened module, move the position of the opened model, etc.), the Excel will shut down abruptly. Therefore, it seems that there is still some issues in my system but I don't know exactly right now.
