What fun! I installed Microsoft Office Standard 2007, loaded Exel 2007, and
get this pop-up that says. "stdale32.tlb". After exiting the pop-up, I get
another pop-up that says it is "configuring Microsoft Office Standard". I
get this series of time-killers every time Excel boots up. What do you think
is going on?

Thanks for your suggestions, as long as they are phyically possible!
Your pal,
