Excel 2000 won't start

[June]

The other day, I couldn't end a non-responding IE via. Task Manager, so I had
to turn off the computer hard way by pressing the switch. After I turned on
the computer again, it shows drive C error and scanned the computer, and it
went through.

But after that, Excel couldn't start any more. The message said, "Microsoft
Excel for Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
for the inconvenience."

I tried to reboot the computer, and it didn't help. I tried to do system
restore, but it couldn't be done. I also tried to uninstall the MS Office
and reinstalled it, but still the same error message. I even tried to run
Excel from the installation disk, but still no luck and same message. In the
mean time, other office applications such as Word and PowerPoint worked
perfectly fine.

I have MS Office 2000 Professional and Windows XP Version 5.1 Media Center
Edition.

Any one can help me? Thanks in advance.

encountered a problem and needs to close" then itt means that your excel file

What if you have an error that has nothing to do with a spreadsheet
file? I open Excel and hit the toolbar button to open available files
the file dialog button opens, but no files are displayed and the
program just hangs. If I reboot it may work for a while but eventually
I have the same problem.
