Cannot find file. Check if libraries not missing

Hello,

I'm sure this problem has come up before, but can't find it in archives :-((

How do I amend the situation where an Excel file (in fact, .XLS or .CSV)
when double-clicked doesnt open, with a message: "File X...-{full path here}
cannot be found. Check if all path and filename are OK and if all libraries
are available" ??
The very same file opens OK from a "File -> Open" dialogue.

I have this problem for a few days now and it began with an Excel crash.
Win98 machine. I tried to look into Win98 file types/properties and it seems
to be fine on that front. I even re-installed Excel, backed up and deleted
my PERSONAL.XLS - still no dice :-((

Please help. Is there anything to be done?
Thanks. Regards, Yarroll

This are the usual things to fix this

Tools>Options>General uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

Close Excel first and
On the Windows Taskbar

1 ) Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)>OK.
2) Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case Start>Run "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.

Wow! That did the trick!
I would never be able to guess it on my own :-((
Thanks a lot!
All the best,
