all of a sudden my excel 2000 won't load
 

I have an older version of Microsoft office, 2000. I haven't tried using
excel recently so I can't say for sure when this problem started, but today I
tried to open it and go this pop-up box, "Microsoft office 2000 premium - The
feature you are trying to use is on a CD-Rom or other removable disk that is
not available. Insert the Microsoft office 2000 premium disk and click OK."
unfortunately I don't have the disk with me at the moment. My other
Microsoft office applications are working fine. Any ideas if this can be
fixed without the disk?

Without the CD I don't hold out much hope.

But if you open Windows Explorer and drill down to an Excel file *.xls then
right-click and "Open With" do you get Excel as an option?

If not, you most likely have removed Excel through add/remove

But as a last gasp........try re-registering Excel.

StartRun "C:\yourpathto2000\excel.exe" /regserver

Again, you could be asked for the CD
