    I am using Windows Vista 32bit with Office 2007. Windows updated today to install KB949810. Now, whenever I try to open an Excel file I get an error that Windows cannot find the file. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. If I open Excel and then open a file within excel it works fine. I don't have this problem for any other Office program. I am not getting any error saying that Office was not able to be validated. I ran the Microsoft Office Diagnostic and it found nothing wrong. I tried a simple reboot with no change.

    Hello T.M.K.,

    What's listed for .xls and/or .xlsx at Control Panel> Default Programs> Set Associations?

    All the excel extensions are listed to be associated with Excel - and the excel files show the proper excel icon. I can't remember for sure, but there is a chance I had an excel file open while running the updates - could that possibly be the problem?

    Hello T.M.K.,

    Other than to suggest a repair of Office, the only suggestion I can give you from the WGA/OGA forum is to visit the Office newsgroups here:  http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/FlyoutOverview.mspx
