No additional data is given. Says the function I want to use must be
configured from the install disk. Goes to the disk. Lots of activity
between the disk and the hard drive, then Excel loads the spreadsheet.

If I hit cancel when the installer message first appears, it stops
trying to configure and loads the spreadsheet. As far as I can tell,
activity from that point on is normal. Just a pain in the ass.

Sound like Excel / Windows is looking / checking for update from
Microsoft direct and so to lod something NOW sitting ready to go a file
from teh original install is missing so the update can not take place.
