Opening file

A few of my Excel files won't open immediately. An error
box says "can't find .and.xls...." After clicking on this
box, a similar message comes up with another "can't find
(another file name which makes no sense)." This happens
about a half dozen times when finally the file opens.

Any suggestions to get rid of these error messages.

Had the same problem and this worked for me thanks to Gord Dibben

In my case it was stumbling over file names with spaces.

Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes and note the space before
the / mark).
Then re-register by Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"
You may have to enter your full path to excel.exe....in that case
surround
with quotes as in..... "C:\mypath\toExcel\somewhere\excel.exe"
/unregserver
