Excel Doesn't Open
Office Pro 2003 Excel
Windows Vista Home Premium Often, especially after a reboot when I click on an excel to open it I get a message: Windows Cannot find (the filename) Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again". The installer for Office opens and starts running but stops and opens a new excel file. Then I have to go to fileopen. and find the file. This is very frustrating. I have repaired, completely reinstalled Office from the original Disc (twice), tried the unchecking ignore other programs box (it wasn't checked) There's just nothing else I know to try. Any help is greatly appreciated. Jerru |

Excel Doesn't Open
I don't have a guess why you get the installation process starting, but you can
try this to see if it helps with the doubleclicking on the file. Saved from a previous post: Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on the file in windows explorer: Tools|Options|General|Uncheck "Ignore other applications" (xl2003 menus) or Office Button|Excel Options|Advanced|General|Uncheck "Ignore other applications that use DDE" (xl2007) --- or --- Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run excel /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run excel /regserver The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to excel's factory defaults.

Now I tried your second recommendation to run excel /unregserver and excel /regserver I got a curious error message considering all of the times I have reinstalled from my disc. The message is: One of your object libraries (stdole32.tlb) is missing or damaged. Please run setup to install it. Any ideas what to do now? Apparently the reinstall is missing the problem. I might add that I have been using this copy of the Office Disc for at least 3 years and this is a new problem. Thanks for any help!! Jerryu |

Excel Doesn't Open
I've never seen this as a result of reregistering excel--in fact, I've never
seen this error at all. If you can still open excel, I'd try Help|detect and repair Or if that doesn't work, I'd try re-installing excel.

Excel Doesn't Open
I did the helprepair and then ran the excel /unregserver and then the excel
/ regserver. I did not get the error message this time but when I ran each of the excel /unregserver and then the excel / regserver it opened up a new workbook. Not a problem though. At least there are no error messages AND I rebooted and opened Excel without a problem. This may well have been the fix. Thanks for the help!
