unable to read file

[gel]

is the message when i try to open an excel file

Is it a particular excel file, or all excel files? It it is just one,
you are probably dealing with a corrupt file. To recover it, try
starting a new instance of excel, choosing the Data - Import menu
function, and importing the corrupt file's data into a new sheet.

Any file or all files?

From where are you opening it(them)?
