When I open a file that is opened by another user, I used to get the popup
box that would say

"File name" is locked for editing
By 'USER'
Open 'Read-Only' or, click 'Notify' to open read-only and receive
notification when the document is no longer in use.

But I no longer get that popup. How do I reenable this?

I am using Excel 2003.
 
I am just wondering if that particular file has been shared.
Have you tested this out with various excel files?
If you open that file and go to Tools > Share workbook, how does it look
from there?

I haven't tried that. Without any changes being made, I have another computer
that I DO get the popup. It's just this one PC that I'm having trouble with.
I'm going to try to uninstall the Suite and reinstall it.
 
The reinstallation of the Suite worked.
