Excel won't start up

[James Cassidy]

Please help! I have installed Excel from Office 2000 onto my computer which had Works 2001 pre installed. When I try to open Excel it flashes onto screen for a few seconds and disappears again. Thanks in advance

But no panicking, okay? It's a known issue that's easily fixed, I believe.

Check this technote article, and then check the links in the article to the other, related articles.
