Microsoft Needs to Fix this Serious Problem with the Technical Ref

[Guest]

I had been running the Beta 2 of Office no problem. When I installed the
Technical Refresh, I now have a problem where Excel will not open any Excel
files. Each time I get a dialogue box indicating that Excel can't open the
doc b/c my virus software is not up-to-date or b/c there is a virus. There
isn't - and I've checked and updated my AV software. Excel will open NO
other Excel files, 2007 Beta 2 or 2003.

Any suggestions would be welcome. I have tried uninstalling and reintalling
the Beta as well as the Technical Refresh. I'm running AVG and Symantec
Internet Security and System Works, on an Acer TravelMate 2303i running
Windows XP Professional.

Take note others have experienced the same thing - if you look under Excel
General Questions you'll see a response to this post that indicates he has
the same problem with ALL Office 2007 apps after the Refresh is installed!

Thanks!

You will generally get faster response if you post to a more widely read
newsgroup. This one is intended for things that cause Excel to crash; since
that rarely happens it is not widely read.
