I run Windows 2000. When I double click on an excel file
in windows explorer, it fails to open the file. I have to
go to programs, open excel and then go back and double
click on the file to open it. Also my Excel email
function is no longer working. Is there some upgrade that
must be downloaded?
 
sounds like you need to re-associate the excel file with the .xls file type.

right click a .xls file and then choose open with... select Excel and choose
always open wiht selected file type.

Second issue is a bit more complex. does the send to function still work
with Word or other MS Office programs? If so, then you may need to chck the
mail options under control panel and make sure the correct mail program is
configured, and configured correctly.

More important than the symptoms is why they occurred. Have you recently
upgraded the computer, some software or something? Had a recent virus
infestation? New IT administrator? It would be easy to shrug off the
situation as one of those things, and that may actually be the correct
response, but it may also be symptomatic of other issues.
