Default matlab and excel conflict - cant use excel anymore

Can you provide me with instructions on how I can delete everything
having to do with MatLab. How can I identify which files are associated
with MatLab? Is it possible to make a back-up of the registry so that
if I delete something that is important, I can easily restore it? Thnx.

I have tried uninstalling Matlab, uninstalling Microsoft Suite and
reinstalling it and various other combinations. Nothing seems to

work.
I am not able to use Excel at all.


You may need to delve into the registry too.

Start by uninstalling both MatLab and Office. Then reinstall Office.

If Excel
doesn't work, uninstall Office again and use REGEDIT to find and

delete
everything you can having to do with MatLab, but NOT Office. Reinstall

Office
again. Does Excel work? If not, time to back up all data files, format

your C:
drive and reinstall everything. If Excel does work, uninstall Office

yet again.
Install MatLab first, then install Office yet again. Does Excel work?

If so,
then you need to check that MatLab works. If Excel doesn't work, time

to call
MatLab support. Given what they charge, you should have free

installation
support, and they should be able to figure out how Excel and Matlab

can coexist
on the same PC.
