Are you saying that your personal.xls doesn't load?

If you've cleaned up all other copies, and the personal.xls doesn't load (when
it's where it should be), maybe excel disabled it.

Xl2002 added a feature to protect itself if it thought a workbook was damaged.

Help|about Microsoft Excel
click on the disabled items button and see if personal.xls is there.

If the file is really corrupted, you may have to delete that version and restore
from a backup.

That was a great help....BUT
I did as you suggested and the answer was
C:\Documents and Settings\Computer\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
The trouble is that PERSONAL.XLS IS there

Any further help would be appreciated
