More clarity needed. Your native language may not be English so slow down a
bit.

You are running WindowsXP, correct?

You have which version of Excel installed?

Excel 2003 is the newest version of Excel for Windows operating system so
wouldn't be considered "old".

What are a few of the 100 questions you are asked before the Excel book opens?

I'll take a guess and suggest you go to ToolsOptionsGeneral and uncheck
"ignore other applications".

Post back with more detail if not satisfactory solution.
