Default What is an Excel "class not registered" error.

Every time I open Microsoft Excel I get a "Class Not Registered" error.

It states "Looking for object with CLSID:{*********************}

What is this?

It would seem that Excel has fouled up its own internal
registration. Close Excel, go to the Windows Start menu, choose
Run, and enter

Excel.exe /regserver

Excel will start, do its internal housekeeping task, then exit.
Now try to start Excel normally.

Hey Chip, thanks for you help but it didn't work.

I ran the Excel.exe regserver at the Start, Run Command and it did exactly
as you said it would do but when I reopened it, I still get the same error.

Any more help?
