Excel hangs

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I have recently encountered a very perplexing problem. When I open
Excel everything seems normal and sometimes it will open a file as it
should. These are all .xls files. If I try to open a second file the
program hangs up with a blank inage of the file on the screen. My
only choice is to do a force quit. I have run the uninstall program
twice making certain that it removes all traces of Office. I have
done two separate archive and installs of MacOSX 10.4.10. I have run
Disk Warrior many times and corrected any errors which were
identified. I have run Apples Disk Repair utility and apparently
there are no issues with the drive. The other phenomenon is that once
Excel hangs all print commands from any program behave in a similar
manner and FileMaker Pro will not allow me to go into Layout mode.
Sometimes these other problems are just time consuming as it may take
5 minutes to get a print dialogue window. With Microsoft Office
uninstalled everything is fine. When it is installed Word will work
normally as long as I don't start Excel. A week and a half ago I had
no problems. I need Excel to work. Has anyone else suffered from a
similar issue
