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.
