Excel,,,, appears locked

[Terry]

Problem, it appears as if my excel is locked, I can punched up all old
files and such, can not type, none of the options up top are open, I went
through and re-registered again, that did not correct it. any help would be
appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,

What do you mean by "I can punched up all old files"? What version of Excel
are you using? Are all menus unavailable? or just some. Are the all
toolbars gray out?

Regardless, re-registering should have no effect.

I meant that when I pulled up a old file, I couldn't type on them,
I only use excel for Price quotes, nothing more, I have the same items
quoted for the same people every week, all I have to do is put cursor where
the price is and type in new price. Can not do that any more. The whole top
of the page comes in gray and says "compatability mode" I do not believe
that was there before. I can open files, can not save, confused. any help
would be appreciated. it is as if something was checked and now all is
locked.thanks Terry

Perhaps you have started up Office 2007 instead of you old version?
