I have a problem with Excel 2013 running on Windows 7 Pro (64). When double clicking an Excel file from Windows Explorer Excel launches but opens a blank worksheet and shows me an error message (german: sinngemäß: "die Weitergabe eines anderen Programms ist gescheitert"). The only way to view the document is by opening Excel and browsing to the saved file.
I have read similar forum entries which address this problem in older versions of Excel. I have tried every solution but none of them worked.
I already added the registry setting for shell open and set the Ignore Other Applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) (unchcked).
The problem still persists. When I first installed Office 2013 it all worked fine. I believe the problem occured after installing Project 2013, but I am not quite sure about that. Reinstalling Excel did not help.
I´d appreciate any help,
Regards Stefan Hassel
