How do I unprotect a protected module Registration DB (Excel erro.

Guest

I just installed MS Office 2003 Professional. Everytime I open Excel, there
is a MS Visual Basic dialog box which states "Compile error in hidden module:
Registration: DB." I do not understand what it means, or how I should fix
it. Can someone help me? I had been using Office 95 previously so I do
understand Excel, but have never run into "modules" before. I tried using
Excel Help but still am clear as to what I should do to get rid of the
message. Thank you.
