Excel 2000 will not launch hyperlinks

[kpsvolition]

Im running Excel 2000, and the hyperlinks (old or newly created) simply open
the the web page in the temp dir for IE. This is no good, for when I try to
proceed beyond this page within IR, there is no other pages to ref. When I
go to "edit" the hyperlink... the address is correct in the address bar.. but
when I click "Web Page" I get the following:
A World Wide Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, is required
to use this feature.
Following this error, the WebPage button is then grayed out

IE7 (same error in IE6) is up and running fine otherwise. Ive removed and
reinstalled Office, as well as IE.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Keith,

This is a bug caused by IE7. The only way to fix it at this point is to
uninstall IE7. It's possible that Microsoft might make a patch available,
but I wouldn't expect it to happen because Office 2000 is the only version
affected.
