I just put Office 2002 back on my system, and all the apps load, but
excel.  I tried loading it, then it wants to try in safe mode, then
detect / repair mode, but it doesnt load. I tried a complete
reinstall, no go.

I am running winxp, and read microsofts website on trouble shooting.
Nothing has worked, I deleted temp files, tried to load it in windows
xp safe mode, nothing works.

Any ideas please?
