Solve : Excel will not start?

1.	Solve : Excel will not start?
Answer» When I try to start Excel, the message "Excel has caused an error in MS09.dll" appears. I have run repair, reloaded Office 2000 Small Business, and attempted these suggestions: rename ms09.dll (not found), delete all *.xlb files (none found), REMOVE 'FindFast' from Startup (not there). The OS is Windows ME. I wanted to set up Outlook as well, but got the same message. Any suggestions? Thanks, DoogsterThis is because the file MSO9.dll (that's an O for Oscar, not zero) is faulty. Microsoft says to rename the file 'just in case' and use Add/remove programs to repair Office 2000 (the uninstaller has a repair option). or try scanreg/restore COMMAND after the the m$do$ prompt and pick the last good cab file..Doogster.......perhaps given your problems , you might WANT to CONSIDER formatting your hard drive and doing a clean install.......in the LONG run it may be the best fix. dl65
