Excel will not open

I have just encountered a problem which is preventing
excel from starting. It briefly opens (in a small window)
and quickly closes again. When it first happened I got
some message about visual basic and editing, but it came
and went so quickly that I couldn't read it. It happens
when I try to open the program or a document created in
excel.
I have tried deleting the program and re installing but no
success.
Help
 
Hi
locate your XLStart folder and remove all files from this folder. You
may also move your pseronal.xls file to a different location. Now try
starting Excel again
If this does not help try starting Excel in 'safe' mode to disable all
add-ins

In this case, XL 2003 (up-to date)


On the Tools | Options tab no items are selected (no transition etc.)

Here is the code:

Sub ArrayCopy()
'
Selection.FormulaArray = _
"=IF(ISERROR(INDEX(FRE!R1C2:R318C2,SMALL(IF(FRE!R1C1:R318C1=RC1, _
ROW(FRE!R1C1:R318C1)),COLUMN()-6))),"""",INDEX(FRE!R1C2:R318C2, _
SMALL(IF(FRE!R1C1:R318C1=RC1,ROW(FRE!R1C1:R318C1)),COLUMN()-6)))"
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=ActiveCell.Range("A1:A304"), _
Type:=xlFillDefault
ActiveCell.Range("A1:A304").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=ActiveCell.Range("A1:AJ304"), _
Type:=xlFillDefault
ActiveCell.Range("A1:AJ304").Select
With Selection
.Copy
.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
End With
Application.CutCopyMode = False

End Sub

After Copy | Paste Special | Values; Every cell in the "range" has either " ' "
or ' (value displayed)

TIA Dennis
