I'm running Windows XP and Office 2002 with SP2. I can't
open an excel file from windows explorer after using the
text import wizard to import text to excel. I have run the
excel /unregserver and excel /reregserver commands, but
that did not improve the situation. I see Microsoft has
a fix for this:

Does anybody know if this fix supposed to be in service
pack 2? Has anybody loaded the above fix and had any
luck with it?

Go to tools options general and uncheck Ignore other applications

Lady,

I have made sure that ignore other applications is not
checked. I even checked it on and checked it back off
again. That still didn't resolve the issue.

Thanks
