revert from office2007
I installed and tried office 2007. After not liking it, I uninstalled and
reverted back to Office97. However, now I cannot open up my file from shortcuts or explorer. It says file not found. I can only open from the Alt-File Menu which holds 9 recent files. Efforts to "save as" successfully creates new files but cannot be opened from explorer. Please help. Sonny

You most likely have to reset your file association from 2007 to 97.
Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar 1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK. 2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK. See the space between exe and /regserver You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe for Office 97 In that case StartRun "C:\your path to\office9\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes required)OK.
