Excel 2007:
Please help me with this. I am getting a take home final tonight &
will need Solver to complete it. There is also a project coming due &
I need it for that, But I am in a serious fix regarding Solver . Your
help will be so greatly appreciated I can't even tell you!

When using solver I received an error message which seemed on but
unfortunately I can't recall it. What does happen now is detailed
below.

Solver does not show up on the "Data" tab @ the extreme right:
http://tinypic.com/r/2iiubnt/6

Under options it is shown as loaded:
http://tinypic.com/r/6sxdu8/6

I tried unloading and reloading to no avail.
I can see it on the Add-Ins tab at the extreme left:
http://tinypic.com/r/2li7h92/6

.... but when I click on that I get the following sequence of sub-
windows:
http://tinypic.com/r/ftlugg/6

There is one thing that also might be relevant I tried to load a
student version of Advanced Solver but after loading it did not show
up. Perhaps even so it is in the background somewhere tormenting me. I
would have ditched it already but I looked on the Add or Remove
Programs list and did not see anything about Advanced Solver or Solver
Advanced or anything like that. So I don't know how to get rid of it,
assuming that is the problem.

What can I do to correct this? I looked at MS Online under VBA
Converters like it said but there is just a bewildering list of topics
that have nothing to do with solver. The link on the third sub-window
in this last slide would not open. I searched that number in MS Online
but found nothing.
Thank You, You Lifesaver!

I don't know Advanced Solver, but have you looked at COM addins, to see if
it is in there?
 
BTW, I have just installed Solver in my 2007, and i get an entry in the Data
group as you intimated you should, BUT, I don't get anythiung in Addins.

Are you sure you have the correct version. I would try re-installing 2007.
 
Can you see "Analysis" group at the right of the Data tab?
This is where Solver and Data Analysis (Analysis Toolpac) reside
best wishes
 
Just for those who still searching for the solution, I found the solver (in addition to the default What-If Analysis in the Data tab) by clicking on Excel Options > Add ins > Select the Analysis ToolPak. Click Go.., Check the Solver Add-in in the displayed dialog. Press OK, ..

The Solver will appear in the newly displayed Analysis tab in the ribbon.
