    Microsoft Office Excel stopped working
    I am trying to get Excel (Office 2003) to work again.
    This Computer was given to us and we do not have any original CD'S including Windows.
    I tried opening one of my Excel files the other day and there was some kind of message which asked that I put the Office 2003 CD into the cd-rom and then continue.

    The message stated that a problem occurred and could not continue unless I put in the CD.

    I found an Excel viewer from Microsoft to help view files but,I need the Excel Application working again to work from home.

    I tried a Recovery to an earlier date ,but this did not help.

    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Unless you can get the original Excel disks, I'm afraid you're out of luck -- at least as far as Excel is concerned. Purchasing a new version of Excel would be fairly expensive. That's another option.

    A third option is to use Open Office

    OpenOffice.org - The Free and Open Productivity Suite

    Open Office contains a word processor that can read and write Microsoft Word files, it contains a spreadsheet that can read and write Microsoft Excel files, etc. It has a Presentation product that can be used instead of PowerPoint.

    Check it out. If it fits the bill, you're home free. It's free also.

    Unless you can find/borrow an office CD, above is the option to go with
