File is not in a recognizable format.

Everytime I open Excel 2000, I get "This file is not in a
recognizable format". I wonder if I have a corrupt
default file. I tried to replace book.xlt with a newly
saved book.xlt, it didn't help.

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Liz

Sounds like you have a file in your XLSTART directory that doesn't belong
there. Use Windows' Find to locate the directory. If the rogue file isn't
obvious, move all files out of that directory, then move them back one at a
time, restarting Excel and quitting each time, to see which one is causing the
problem.
