Sometimes the file that holds the toolbar customizations gets hosed.

You could use windows start button|Find to look for *.xlb.

Rename all you find to *.xlbOLD

Then open excel to see if that helps.

If it fixed the problem, toss those *.xlbOLD files. You'll have to rebuild all
your customizations, though.

If it didn't fix it, rename them back to *.xlb.

If this didn't work, Chip Pearson has documented some techniques to try when
you're having trouble starting excel.

And it never hurts to clean up the Windows Temp folder.
