Good afternoon. I am using XP Pro at work and My computer just started doing
this. when I open Excel, I get a message pop up that says in title "Visual
Basic Error" and in body of error window is "File Not Found". If I click on
help, says something about error 53 but when I try to look that up on
Microsoft's website, can't find what seems to apply to my issue. And now when
I go into my personal.xls to view my macros, I can get in, but if I try to
save anything, I get a window pop up saying Excel must be shut down, and then
a window pops up asking me if I want to report an error. What could be going
on? Thanks.

For what it's worth...
In "Trappable Errors" in VBA help, error 53 is explained as...

The file was not found where specified. This error has the following causes and solutions:
· A statement, for example, Kill, Name, or Open, refers to a file that doesn't exist.
Check the spelling of the file name and the path specification.
· An attempt has been made to call a procedure in a dynamic-link library (DLL),
but the library file name specified in the Lib clause of the Declare statement can't be found.
Check the spelling of the file name and the path specification.
· In the development environment, this error occurs if you attempt to open a project or load a text file that doesn't exist.
Check the spelling of the project name or file name and the path specification.
