Just installed Excel 97 (from my original floppy's) on my
new computer running windows XP home edition. Excell
will not open any of my spreadsheets transferrrd from the
old computer. I tried the transfer wizard, copying
to "my documents", copying to Excel directory and copying
to a floppy.

Is Excel 97 compatible with XP. Can't even uninstall 97
through control panel - program not listed - and don't
think I should just delete the directory altogether.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
 
I now know the problem. I inadvertently installed a
version of Excel 5.0. So now I have this version out
there with no uninstall program and not recognized by
the "Add/Remove Programs" capability in XP. I would like
to get it off the system. Any thoughts on how to safely
remove this would be greatly appreciated.
