Problem in excel

[Easwaran]

I am using OS Windows ME. I was using Excel wihtout any problem for last 3
years. however. suddenly, when I try to open Excel or any other old xl file,
my PC shows a prompt : Trying to install Office premium 2000, insert CD " :

I have to cancel these since I dont know whats wrong with the Xl.

PLs help,

Simply insert the CD with which you originally installed the programme.

You could try to re-register Excel.

Close Excel first and
On the Windows Taskbar

1) Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)>OK.
2) Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case Start>Run "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.

If this doesn't do the trick, try a "repair" of Office(or Excel if standalone)
or a re-install.

If you have no CD, you are most likely out of luck with the repair or
re-install.

Thanks for the feedback. Always nice to know what does or doesn't do the
trick.

BTW.....I assume solution was the re-register?
