Excel "not" opening files

[FallenGuardian]

This is a bit of an odd problem, as the thread title is a bit misleading.

You can double click a file icon, and it will open Excel. Then nothing....it doesn't show the file.....

Now, minimize the window and Excel pops back up with the file opened.

Now...just open Excel, then navigate to the file that you want to open, double click it and it's johnny on the spot.

Anyone had this problem or been able to fix it?
