In the right pain, I see (when doubling clicking on the .xls
folder in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT)  I didn't change a thing, just
looked.

Name          Data
(default)     "Excel.Sheet.8"
Content Type  "application/x-msexcel"

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this is a registry error....go
to this
registry key and tell me exactly what you see in the right pane
when you
doubleclick on the .xls folder:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xls

DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING...just tell me what's there...however, I'm
heading
off to teach a class tonite, so I won't be able to reply to this
til a
lot later.....maybe someone else has a clue tho

And, no, sorry, there is no way to reply from the freelists web
page...you have to copy/paste the way you have been doing

Thanks for replying, Linda.  From the CD, Access files, Word
files & PowerPoint files open just fine.  The Excel files don't,
so I tend to think it's an Excel issue versus a CD drive or disk
issue.  Copying the Excel files to the hard drive and opening
from the hard drive using Windows Explorer also brings up the
error message.  The CD drive I'm using is the E: drive.  (Again,
opening Excel first lets me open the files on the CD - I prefer
to open from Windows Explorer, if possible, and that way worked
just fine before yesterday.)

When trying to open Excel files from Windows Explorer via CD or
hard drive, the Excel program opens, then the error message
presents itself.

PS Is there a way to reply via the freelists.org site?  I don't
see a way, hence I'm copying info and pasting into a new email
message.
