Default I have an xla file preventing me from opening new files

I'm getting a warning message "GWXL97.XLA couldnot be found. Check the
spelling of a file name, and verify that the location is correct." I can't
open or save a file as a result. How do I fix this problem?

Open excel
Look under tools|addins.
Do you see anything that looks like GWXL97.xla (or GroupWise?)?

If yes, then uncheck it. If excel can't find the file, you'll be prompted to
remove it from the list.

(Although, I'm not sure why this would affect your ability to open/save files.)

Let me define my problem more explicitely,

When I try to open a file in Excel by clicking on the yellow folder icon
under the FILE menu, I get a warning that states the following. €˜GWXL97.XLA
could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the
location is correct. Then there is a warning triangle that says If you are
trying to open a file from your list of most recently used files on the file
menu, make sure that the file has not been moved or deleted.

The same warning happens when I click the save icon before closing a file.

I have tried the suggestion of going to tools/addin's and find nothing that
will solve the problem.
