Excel is not opening...

[Manuel]

Some one that can help me... At our office we have one
system that we install MS Office 2000, all programs are
working correctly except Excel, it does not even open, we
have uninstall and reinstall several time and is the same
thing, we did also an installation of MS Office 2000
Standard, Premium and Professional and none of the seem
to solve the problem. We even deleted all folders from MS
Office and still the same thing. It use to work before,
we did also scaning for viruses and it is clean.

Can some one please help me if you have an idea.

Thank you!

Try running Excel in Safe Mode. For this go to Start/Run and run the
following command:

Excel.exe /s

Note that there is a space before the forward slash.

If everything works fine in Safe Mode, then the problem could be due
to an add-in Go to Tools/Add-ins and uncheck all the add-ins. Then
start Excel without using the /s switch. If this solves the problem
then enable the add-ins one-by-one, restarting Excel each time, to
find the offending add-in.

If the problem still exists then go to Tools/Options/General and make
sure that the 'Alternate Startup file location' is blank.

If this doesn't work, move all the files out of C:\...\Office\XLStart.

This could also be caused by a bad xlb file. Search for files "*.xlb"
and move them to another folder..
