Excel files not opening

Hello,

I am currently using Excel 2007, when I double click on an excel
file, Excel opens up to a blank screen. If I go to options and then
cancel out, the workbook opens up. Or if excel is already opem and
then I double click on the workbook, it will open that way also.
Anyone have any issues like these?

So far I have ran all updates, and disabled all add-ons. I have ran a
repair, but the problem remains. Not sure what to try next.

All help is apreciated

Ben

Hi Ben

Use Office buttonExcel options
AdvancedGeneral

Change "Ignore other applications ........"

I have tried this, and it does not fix it in 2007. Any other ideas?

Hi Ben

Is this a upgrade to 2007?

Are there files in your XLstart folder

It was an upgrade from Office 2003. The folder is empty. Also, this
was not a problem on Friday, and nothing has changed that I am aware
of.

Do you have the same problem when you start Excel in Safe modes

Close Excel
Hold the Ctrl key when you open Excel
Say Yes in the dialog that popup

Yes, I have tried that, although I did not get a pop up asking me
anything. I also uninstalled office 2007, rana registry cleaner to get
rid of anything from office 2003 or 2007, then reinstalled. Same
problem.

Ben

No dialog with do you want to open Excel in Safe modus
That is strange

I have no other idea

I tried uninstalling, running a reg cleaner to delete all instances of
Office 2003 or 2007, and still no Luck.

I tried holding the ctrl key down while opening Excel, the was not a
dialog box that popped up. I tried double clicking on the workbook
while holding the ctrl key and it acted the same way, no dialog box,
not workbook either.

I am having this same problem. We have Office 2007 installed on a few
computers and I'm the only one with this problem. I am running a full
version of Office 2007 and Outlook 2003.

When I double click an Excel file it opens to a blank screen.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. Problem still
there.

I have tried what people suggested here.. one said go into settings,
general, and checking ignore other applications that use DDE, that didn't
work. Another person suggested holding down CTRL while starting Excel and
going into safe mode.. what do I do after that? I closed Excel tried to open
a file and the problem is still there.
