Cannot open files directly

[yuki]

Hi All,

I just want to ask for help regarding this problem i had
with excel files. Everytime i open a file directly by
double-clicking the file name, the excel application
opens but it doesn't show the file, you have to use the
OPEN from the file menu to be able to open the file.
The "Ignore other applications" from the general tab of
the Tool menu is already unchecked. what else could be
the problem with the application? appreciate any help.
thanks.

regards,
yuki

Hi yuki

This are the usual things to fix this

Tools>Options>General uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

Close Excel first and
On the Windows Taskbar

1 ) Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)>OK.
2) Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case Start>Run "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
