You're right; SP2 did not fix anything.
When I ran the unreg it just opened excel. I closed excel and ran rhe reg
and excel opened again. However, I'm still having the same problm.. Could it
be something in the registry?

"Did not work" means what?
Error message or the re-installer ran but did stop your problem?

The box was already unchecked. I tried the other fix, but that did not work.
I am installing service pack 2 to see if that helps.

Try the usual fix for this.
ToolsOptionsGeneral Uncheck "Ignore Other Applications etc."
In 2007 that would be ButtonExcel OptionsAdvancedGeneral
If no joy with that................
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.
