I've been running Windows Office XP SBE and yesterday Excel stopped working.  
The other applications are fine.  When I click on Excel if flashes for a
second and then disappears.  Tried uninstalling and then installing.  Tried
virus scans and hard drive checks/defragmentation and get the same result.

On an Office thread from 2005 someone suggested changing an Excel.xlb file
to Excel.abc.  I tried to rename the file but it produced Excel.abc.xlb.  I
couldn't get rid of the .xlb extension.  Not sure if that would solve the
problem.

Its 12:38 AM and I'm going to bed.  Any help would be appreciated.
