    Can't open Excel files

    I cannot open Excel files, either from my archives or from email attachments. I get this message:

    "There was a problem sending the command to the program"

    Thanks for your help!:

    Check the PROPERTIES of the shortcut you use to start Excel, make sure it's not set as "Run as administrator". I had that happen to me when I tried to run with that flag turned on.
