Excel Won't Open in Office XP Professional

Since April, I haven't been able to open Excel documents. It keeps asking me
to load the CD. In March I experienced a problem after an automatic update
where I couldn't save Word Documents. There was a fix that I performed that
corrected the problem. It seemed that a Microsoft update had caused the
problem. The fix had me going into the register, which was a major step for
someone as technically challenge as me. Now I wonder if there was another
update that caused the problem. My situation is complicated by the fact that
were are in the midst of painting and things have been packed away. And I
can't find the XP CD

Launch Excel from the Start - All Programs menu. Pull down the Help menu
and select "Detect and Repair". It is likely to need the Office XP CD-ROM
in order to fix the problem.

Does that fix the problem?
