file open question

I have an issue that has developed with Excel 07.

When ever I would click on a *.xls file I would get a short hourglass but
nothing would happen. If I opened Excel first then the files would open
normally.

I tried registering the file type and then when I would click on a file I
would get
"c:\documents.xlxs could not be found" I could click ok and it would open
another box with similar info.

After several boxes the file would finally open. Now I get the same info
boxes then Excel opens but with no spreadsheet. I can open any file
normally from within Excel.

I always save my files in *.xls format because that is what I use at work.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

thanks in advance.

Hi,
Maybe that :
Office Button, Excel Option, Advanced Options
Unselect : Ignore other applications that use dynamic data exchange
Sorry for my english
