Why am I getting so many "file corrupted" errors?
This has just become a problem recently, I have never had this happen in the
years I have used Excel. I am getting "file cannot be opened, it is corrupted" meesages ALOT lately when I try to open excel e-mail attachments. No one else has problems with the files. Is there a cache or file I need to clear out? Why is this happening all of a sudden? Any help appreciated. Thanks. |

What version of Excel are you using and what types of files are you trying to
open? Thanks, Barb Reinhardt "Evilive138" wrote: This has just become a problem recently, I have never had this happen in the years I have used Excel.

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.
