    .xlsx converter to .xls for excel 2003

    The converter to convert .xlsx files to .xls quit working. I can no longer open .xlsx files. I've uninstalled and reinstalled office, and excel several times. I bought and used a registry cleaner after each uninstall. I've moved the location of new installation of office to a different directory. Each time trying to reinstall the converter. At each attempt I get a message that a current version of the converter already exists and I need to uninstall it to reinstall it. I've uninstalled everything I dare uninstall yet the problem remains. What do I uninstall to get rid of the problem? I'm not a novice nor stupid. I've tried the repair option in the control panel add and remove area. I'm still at square 1.

    Should I uninstall msxml 4.0 sp2? Should uninstall anything that has ms in it?

    Can anybody help me?
