Do you have the problem starting in safe mode? (Start-Run "Excel.exe /s"
(no quotes)). If not uncheck anything that is selected there.

Try it with a space between the excel.exe and the /s

The same message comes up. Could not find the file. But now the regular
Excel program comes up and reacts the same.

Try it again. You've made a typing mistake.

If it fails again, copy from the Windows Start|Run dialog and share what you
tried.

Dave you were correct. It did come up in safe mode but I get the same
results with tools-add-in. A warning and shut down. I had used Excel.exe
/s over and over again from the history. When I deleted that and retyped
then it came up in safe mode.

I don't have a guess. I was hoping that Jim's suggestion would help.

Depending on your version of excel, maybe
Help|Detect and repair would help

Or uninstalling and reinstalling would help.

(As much as I dislike uninstalling/reinstalling, maybe it'll help...)

=========
And one pure guess that has no reason to work--but it won't take much time to
try:

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.

ps. There's a space between excel and the slash.
