excel is coming up with 'unable to read file" for all excel files

[anita]

Excel was working until i went to open a previous file and now it is coming
up with unable to read file.

this is the same for office word, so I am under the impression that there is
something wrong with my microsoft office program

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
information.
