I can not open my excel spreadsheets on my Gateway portable - this problem
just started- student & teacher edition

From where are you trying to open them and how?

Double-click on a file?

What happens when you try?

Nothing?

Error message?

Excel opens but no file with it?

When i double click on the excel file it appears to be opening - but won't
open. Word & powerpoint open ok. Any other tips? Thanks

Try the usual fix(es) for this problem.

ToolsOptionsGeneral uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
