Problem opening Excel

I have a problem when I open Microsoft Excel or an excel file, I get a screen with the following message:
Preparing to install Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage
Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage
Necessary to collect information...

Then a second screen with the following message is displayed:
Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage
The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or another removable disk that is not available.
Insert "Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage'disk, and then click OK."

When I cancel this message, a third screen with the following message appears:
Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage
Error 1706. Setup cannot find the required files. Check your connection to the network, or CD-ROM drive.
For possible solutions to this problem, see C:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Office\Office10\10033\SETUP. HLP.

I don't have a CD for my PC came pre-installed with Windows XP.

OMG... I had EXACTLY the same problem for months. It's so frustrating, but I found a way of fixing and it actually worked. Trust me.

Basically, go to the Start button and click Run.
then type in excel /unregserver
Click ok
a screen will come up with something on safe mode
Click ok
go to start, then run again
type in excel/regserver
Click ok
(don't forget to put a space between the word excel and /)
I actually tried to fix a few minutes ago, and now I'm happy! haha
hope this work!

  • Problem opening excel data document written to.

    Hello

    I am trying to write data to a spreadsheet file, and I believe that I am going through the correct steps but have a problem when I try to open the file.  My file name has the extension .xlsx (Excel 2007) and I opened the folder I specified in order to create the file but when I try to open it it comes up with an error saying that the file may be in the wrong format or have the incorrect extension.  I know that I can write to a text file and open the text file with Excel but I tried to do it this way and I just want to know if I'm doing something wrong or if there is a problem with Excel.  A tidbit of useful that I should probably included, it's that I'm using LabVIEW 8.6.

    Thank you

    bsteinma

    Try to open a file with the extension .xls.  See if you get the same error.  In my opinion, change, microsoft did with Office 2007 to get to these. - x extensions is ridulcous and will cause more problems than its worth.  I have here an advantage to this 'new' file format.  Work with the normal .xls files and I bet your problem will disappear.

  • Problem opening Excel files through shortcuts

    I had a problem with Excel and Vista I can not back down to the coast. A lot of research but can not find an answer. I tried saving the file associations for Excel but doesn't seem to be the cause of the route of the question.

    Problem...
    If I open an Excel file in Excel 2007, all is well. However if I try to open the same file by double clicking it from the Explorer or Office Excel reports an error that the file cannot be found. The same problem does not occur with a different username on the same installation on Vista.

    Any ideas?

    Hi, I just upgraded my HP Pavilion dv4-1409tu Windows Vista to Windows 7, before the upgrade, the compatibility report highlighted that the HP Quick Launch buttons may not work properly after the upgrade, he advice me to uninstall the program before the upgrade.

    I chose to ignore the warning and proceed with the upgrade,

    After the upgrade, I found that every time when I press on the HP Quick Launch for its buttons, he did something extra, which is opening a new Excel document.

    I then installed the latest driver IDT High Definition Audio CODEC, it became worse! speakers not working do not at all!

    After searching for help, I installed the version of the driver 6.10.6225.0, speakers are back to normal now, but the problem of Excel document open returns.

  • Slow opening Excel file with MACRO and links from network on the Desktop view file server compare to physical PC

    Hi guys,.

    It's a weird thing.

    I just encountered a very strange problem when you open one of the excel files located on a Linux Samba Shared running file server.

    My laptop physics has a Dual Core 2 Duo 2.27 GHz, 4 GB of RAM and Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.

    My Desktop view has 2 vCPU (UC from host to 2.99 GHz/Core with base 16), 4 GB of RAM and Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.

    Note: The Desktop view is located on the FusionIO card locally on the server, so it is lightning fast.

    When I open excel file from my physical office, need you 3 seconds to open and 5 seconds to enable the content (because it is a big xls file with a bunch of MACRO and LINKS to a different worksheet)

    When I opened that same excel view Desktop file, it takes you 18 seconds to open and 1 minute to activate the content.

    Anyone happened to have the same problem with their environment to experience?

    Do you mind sharing some tips to solve this?

    Finally, be able to locate the problem.

    It was Sophos EndPoint AV for vShield that I deployed for assessment.

    Once I turned off politics, everything is back to normal.

    Couldn't believe that via vShield endpoint was causing all this because I tried Symantec and BitDefender for vShield before and no problem at all.

    Well.

    I hope that Sophos or VMware vShield team has a solution for me.

    Nice day!
