FILES WON'T OPEN
When I try to open an Excel file, I get an error message. When I look up the
error message I get c:\DOCUME~1\HARRYG~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\f195_appcompat. txt I found out that this means that I have a file that interferes with Excel.exe. How do I find the file to delete it? All of my other office files open OK Thanks |
