I don't have another guess.

I have quadruple checked these settings and they are the same. The machine
next to me that works is XP SP1 and I am SP2. One of the other people that it
works for is XP SP2 but has Office 2003. Any other suggestions?

I would double check the list separator under the windows regional settings

I'm not convinced by these answers. I have a similar issue, which I will
explain.

One of our web apps (intranet) creates a csv file and parses it to excel. On
SOME people's machines, this opens fine with all the data in seperate
columns. Other people's machines put it all in ONE column. I have checked
regional settings and they are all the same. The applications are the same,
and the file types appear to be the same also. Any further ideas about what
could resolve this?

Hi
you probably have different windows regional settings for your list
delimiter. One workaround (except changing the Windows regional settings).
Rename your file to *.txt and open this file with Excel. The text import
wizard should start and should allow you to choose a different delimter

If I doubleclick on a csv it opens in Excel but all the data is in
one column. If I do the same on another pc the data is displayed
correct.

Is this a setting and where can I change it?

MS Office 2000.
