Hi,

The problem I am having is that when I double click the excel documen
that I want to open, windows explorer freezes. If I open excel firs
and then select the required document everything works fine. I hav
reinstalled office but the problem persists. I think the problem i
with Win 2000, I have run the repair utility from the win 2000 instal
cd but still no good. Has anyone got a suggestion?

Regards,

Paudi
 
I'm not sure what causes the windows explorer freezing (or if this will fix it),
but sometimes one of these works for similar problems:

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 the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.
