Default Excel - do not open workbook...

The saved book opens, but nothing shows up. If I first open Excel and then
open the saved book - then all sheets shows up with it's content.

Why do I have to open Excel first on this pc?

I have backed up the saved books and tried it on an another pc and
everything shows up normal, without open Excel first.....hmmmmm.

I have reinstalled Excel 2003 and upgraded it from Microsoft.

Try the usual fix for this.

ToolsOptionsGeneral Uncheck "Ignore Other Applications"

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.
