When I open my (excel 2007) spreadsheets, the file opens, but the page is
blank. The message I keep getting is:
"Windows cannot find blah, blah, blah....xlsx template. Make sure you
typed the name correctly and try again".
What did I do wrong and how do I correct this! Please help because I can't
open any speadsheets being sent to me via email either!
Thanks!!!!

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

Tools|Options|General|Uncheck "Ignore other applications"
(xl2003 menus)

or
Office Button|Excel Options|Advanced|General|Uncheck "Ignore other applications"

--- 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.
