Guest Big Poppa Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Somehow I lost the abilty to use my excel program. When I try to open a spreadsheat I get a pop up window w/ Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage trying to install. Then it tells me to use the cd rom and use the windows cd to install the program. I don't know why all of a sudden this is happening nor do I have the cd to re-install the program. Is there a way to do this w/out the cd?

In Excel on the Menu bar click Help > Detect and Repair. If the install files are not on the PC you will need the install CD. If that fails to solve the issue you need to ask this question in an Excel or Office ng. microsoft.public.excel microsoft.public.excel.misc microsoft.public.excel.newusers microsoft.public.office.misc -- Brian A.

Guest Big Poppa Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Re: Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage I actually figured out what you meant. I went to the website, downloaded the file and it worked one time. I closed out of it then I tried it again and now I can't review my spreadsheets again due to the same issue I had before.
