Excel files won't come up

[Harry G Peare]

I am having trouble bringing up any Excel file. I get an error message with
a error signature like this
AppName:Excel.exe AppVer 9.0.0.2719 ModName:mso9:11
ModVer:9.0.0.2720 Offset:00045909

When I look up the tech information at the bottom I get this
c:\docume~1\HarryG~1\Locals~1\temp\2958_appcompat.txt

I sent this message last week and the remark was to double click and copy
the error and reply. I did and I haven't seen any reply yet. I really need
to use the Excel files which I use often. All other ofice files OK
Help!!!

I don't have a guess about what's causing the trouble, but you may want to try
reinstalling excel.

Chip Pearson has a bunch of techniques that deal with start up errors at:

You may want to read them and try a few before you try reinstalling.
