Excel 2003 Vista get Aero and product key box

[stevemalee]

When I search for an Excel page using the documents shortcut and click on
the Excel document, the program opens in an Aero looking display, and a box
opens telling me to enter my product key. The title bar of this box says MS
Home and Student 2007.

I do not have 2007, I have 2003.

Then, if I open Excel by going to All Programs and clicking on the MS Excel
link the program opens normally in Excel 2003.

What can be causing this behavior ?

If you are trying to search on a specific sheet in Excel either select the
range you want to search or a single cell (then Excel check everthing) and
press Ctrl+F. Edit Find.

Somehow I didn't explain my problem properly.

I am not searching for a specific sheet.

I am trying to open an Excel document, not a page. I should have said
workbook since I guess you don't call anything in Excel a document.

What I want is *.xls.

Thanks

Hi Steve,

I can't duplicate this behavior on my machine, sorry, you might repost the
question because people won't always look at a post that has answers.
