Your prefs may be corrupt. Try:

With all Office apps closed, rename/delete/move this file:

~:Libraryreferences:com.microsoft.Excel.plist


(where ~ is your home directory). Restart XL and try to open preferences.

If that doesn't work, again, with all Office apps closed,
rename/delete/move the

~:Libraryreferences:Microsoft:Office 2008:

folder. Restart XL. (If you rename or move the folder, you can add back
the non-XL files later).
