i bought a new laptop..with windows 7. i loaded my XL 2003 on it and
everything seems fine. except, i cant get my personal workbook to open
automatically. i put it in the startup folder. even went to options
and tried to get it to start automatically when i open xl that way.
but, no luck. this laptop came with a trail version of xl 2007. i
deleted it to see if that would help, with no results. anyone have any
idea what the problem might be?

Thanks,

Tonso
