i couldn't open my excel files,it gives location couldn't find err

Hi,
i am trying to open my excel files but it gives me the following error:
"If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used
files on the file menu,make sure that the file has not been renamed,moved of
deleted."

But if i renamed the same file to some other name then it works.so please
tell me how can i fix this problem.

Thanks & Regards,
Hozefa

How are you trying to open the file?

Are you double clicking on it in windows explorer?

Or are you using File|Open and choosing the file?

Or are you using File, then clicking on one of the files at the bottom of that
dropdown?

======
Just a wild guess, but if the file really exists and you're double clicking on
the file in windows explorer...

Sometimes one of these works for slightly different problems.

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

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