Files won't open when dbl click on filename

We have a small 3 station network - all running XP Pro SP2 and Excel 2000 SP3. On only one of the stations when you double click on the .xls filename in My Computer, excel starts up but the file doesn't load. I just get a blank excel screen. File associations are all set correctly and I have double checked network settings, folder is shared etc etc. I'm stumped. 2 of 3 stations work perfectly - excel opens and files load. Please help!! Thanks

Hi

Try going to Tools/Options/General and unticking Ignore Other Applications.

Hope this helps!
Andy.
