In my PC's excel 2003, the negative numbers are not appearing with brackets,
where as its appearing in other PCs. I think something has been disturbed,
how to fix?

Check your cell formatting.

If you just want that format (with the ()'s) to show up in the samples in
format|Cells|Number tab...

Excel picks this up from a windows setting:

Windows start button|control panel
regional and language options
regional options tab
click the customize button
currency tab
change the negative currency format to show ()'s.
