Tried Ignore check nope
Tried the unregister nope
Tried the full path regserver nope.
My problems began after installing Office 2007 with a problem with Excel
2007 not functioning correctly with the workbook that did work under
Excel-2003 and Excel-97. It took 1:45 to just open the file and 2:05 th
change the value in a single cell.
After spending about 40 hours completely writing a new version of the
workbook with it's 800+ cells with data, formula and cross worksheet
references, but NO MACROS, I thought I was ready to actually start to use
Excel-2007.
However the workbook has developed another problem.
It would not open with a double click in Explorer. It will only open when I
click OPEN in EXCEL
To test I did the following:
I saved a number of copies of the file on my desktop as XLS type, XLSM type,
and XLSX type I also have a copy of the old workbook that would open after
1:45
With no other applications running Double clicking on the XLS or XLSX
files opened them in just a few seconds
double clicking on the old Excel-2003 file opened it in the normal 1:45
double clicking on the XLSM file did not open it.
Note I have not yet included the macros that I had in the old Excel-2003
workbook but was planning on writing them this weekend.
So it looks like there still are serious problems with Excel-2007. I think
I will look into Open Office and see if it can run a spreadsheet.

Re-read Dave's post.
He did not say to run regserver.xls
Here is my version of the instructions..................
Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar
1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver
You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes required)OK.
