error message "excel cannot access office"

I have Office XP professional, and all available updates and patches.
When opening excel, I get an error message "Excel cannot access office", if
I click ok, I then get "cannot access office", I click ok again and it then
opens fine and runs fine. have tried detect and repair, and all seems fine.
Does anyone have any ideas?
