opening a file from windows explorer or the desktop, etc.
 

If I open a file with menu/file/open... files open fine. Otherwise excel
starts but the file will not open. The file has Ignore other applications
UNchecked. I have also tried the "excel.exe /unregserver" and "excel.exe
/regserver" run commands. The qwerky thing about it is if I start the open
dialog and cancel, the file opens. Or if I even to Help/About and close the
about dialog, the file opens.

Please help, I have been trying to fix this for days... it is very
annoying/akward to use.

Usually one of those techniques works. I would try them once more.
