This morning I installed Office 2007 on my pc. When I try and open any excel
file, It begins to open up every office file in my drive. I have uninstalled
and reinstalled three times, and also tried the repair choice on the
installation. All the other office products work fine. Any ideas?
 
You need to do 2 things:

1. make sure there are no un-wanted files in your XLSTART folder
2. Tools > Options > General make sure at startup you are not trying to open
many files
 
I checked the XLStart folder the only thing in it is a file called
GWXL97.XLA. Can I assume that this file should be there?

Thanks for the help
 
Got rid of the Groupwise add-in, and it didn't do anything. I did find the
solution, though.

The was a setting in the advanced options under the general heading that
asked about opening all files. For some reason this was set to one of my
mapped network drives. I deleted that setting, and now it works great.

Thanks for your two replies, they got me going in the right direction.
