xls file will not launch
Running Excel 2007 (hate it by the way) and this did not work for me. I
tried the unregister / register and it did not do anything. But I could not
find the "ignore other
applications" anywhere in options. Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:
Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)
--- or ---
Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver
The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to
excel's factory defaults.

When I double click on a .xls file, the program lauches, but the data does
not. If I start excel first then open the file from the menu bar the data is
present.
