double clicking .xls file doesn't open application
 

I just loaded MS Office 2003 and have found that when I attempt to open
documents (files) saved in Excel I get the following error.

Error message: Windows cannot open this file. "To open this file, Windows
needs to know what program created it. Windows can to online and look it up
automatically or you can select from a list of the programs on your
computer."

Is there something I can change in the set-up to enable the files open the
application automatically?
