excel opens up looking like it is in ms dos
 

how can I get my excell to stop opening up looking like it is in MS-DOS mode.
I get an error message that wants to send the info to microsoft, when it hit
yes send or no don't send it then shuts down.

Hi
what exact error message do you get and does this happen all the time for
all files?
