Since adding a Palm pilot to a users machine, Excel 97 cannot save any file to ant location. The error message - Excel cannot access the location drive:\folder\etc is not a valid path. All other office apps work normally. I do not think it is a permissions problem as I have domain admin rights etc and cannot use excel on that PC using my profile. I have removed the Palm Desktop from the PC and there is no difference. Advice please.
 
1. Try Start/Run excel.exe /regserver (may need full path to Excel).

2. Have a look in your XLSTART folder (from which any .xls files are automatically opened when Excel is opened). I think Palm may have put a file there. See what happens if you move this out temporarily.

Thanks for the responses. the problem turned out to be connected with disknet which had not deleted properly. Restoring disknet cured the problem followed by removing the disknet application completely.
