What version of excel are you using?

If it's xl2002 or xl2003, then your personal.xls file may have been disabled by
excel.

You can check by looking under:
Help|about MS Excel|Disabled Items button

If it shows personal.xls being disable, you can try to reenable it.

If the file was really bad and excel wants to keep disabling it, delete that
file and restore a copy from your backups.
