1. Try
Start|Run|"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\excel.exe" /unregserver
Start|Run|"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\excel.exe" /regserver
Reboot

2. If the above does not work
Start|Run|appwiz.cpl
Select MS Office entry
Click on change
Choose Repair
Reboot

Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to
excel's factory defaults.
