Hello,

I'm using Office XP and when I double click an excel file
in windows explorer, it shows a blank screen and toolbars
only. But when using file, open, then it's okay.

I also happens in my word documents.

Any ideas?

Thanks

andre

Do you get any error messages (like "cannot find...")

You may want to try these. Sometimes one will fix your problem:

Close Excel and
Start|Run
excel.exe /regserver

The /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's factory defaults.

An alternative might be to do:
Try Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)
