At start-up of Excel I get a pop-up which states: "Unable to Find Quit on the
File Menu. Instant Access not enabled."

I can then choose to press OK on the pop-up, after which everything works OK
and Instant Access does work. I believe Quit is on the File Menu: it's the X
mark to quit Excel completely.

I also have an add-on icon which I can't get rid of (couldn't get rid of it
in Excel 2000 either), as it keeps coming back, even though it says it can't
come back and will be irretrievable. This add-on is for an old scanner that
I no longer use and have deleted (by using Control Panel, Add/Remove
Programs) from my system (Windows XP), so I don't think that can be the cause
of my problem. Have checked other add-ons with another computer (which
doesn't have this problem) and everything is set up identically to the other
computer.

I'd be grateful if someone could tell me:
1. How to get rid of that pop-up at the start, and
2. How to get rid of the icon showing an add-on which no longer exists.

Many thanks in advance for taking the time and trouble to read this.

I am receiving the same error message, but I don't have the add-in issue.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on with this?
