Hi,

I recently installed a language (French, German, etc) translation program in
my PC (OS - Win 98SE). A feature of this program is the ability to
translate Microsoft Office documents/worksheets. Now, everytime I want to
use Excel, I have to wait until the translation programme loads itself. Can
I prevent this happening? There are no references in the instructions for
the translation program.
TIA. Ken Rock
 
Try this. Hold shift and right click on any excel file, and choose Open With. Then find Excel on the list and check the box to Always open with this program. That should reset Windows to open your files with Excel. If it doesn't, the problem is most likely something to do with your translation program

Good Luck
Scott

Possible that the program is an Add-in.

Tools>Add-ins. Uncheck what looks like the program. If you don't recognise
anything you may have to uncheck all then recheck one at a time.

The program could have placed a file in your XLSTART folder or in the
"Alternate startup folder" in Tools>Options>General.

A little digging around should find the offender.
