    Excel 2007 not opening as a window on desktop


    When I open Excel (windows 7 Home) the icon appears on the taskbar with a small window above it confirming I've opened excel but I cannot get it to appear as workable window. This has only occurred within the last 5 days and I haven't downloaded any new software or updates - help. I know the file isn't corrupted as I can copy onto a USB and open it on another PC, it's just when I'm using my main PC. It appears to be opening in a non existent second window (see screenshot I've just captured attached) but I only have one screen!

    Is Excel 2007 or Office 2007 the only version of Excel or Office 2007 that you have installed on your computer.

    You could try going into Control Panel & select Default Programs, which will open some options for you to try.
