Default GRAY SCREEN

When I try to open an Excel workbook that's in a folder, I get the gray Excel
screen but no worksheet. If I open the program Excel and then open the
workbook, the data is there. This is a new problem. I scanned for viruses but
don't have any. How can I fix this? Please help me!!

Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.
