I have searched the machine and there is no Personal.xls(b) files on it at
all, I have uninstalled and re-installed Excel, but the problem is still
there...

Any idea's ??

I lost my Personal Workbook (Excel 2003). Ron De Bruin was kind
enough to send me the solution. He also included the fix for 2007.

I posted the question below and received the solution from Ron de
Bruin. This is an FYI in case anybody else experiences the same
problem. I did not know the Disabled log was available and also found
a couple of Add-In DLL's that I had "lost." So great piece of info.

Q: I lost My Personal Macro Workbook. It is not open for Macro
recording.

Does anyone know where it may be? How to get it back?

A: On the Help menu click on About Microsoft Excel

The see if it is listed in Disabled items
