    try shutting down / re booting your pc and opening again, no reason for a working file to do that

    did somebody send it to you and say it worked ? is it the latest version of xl? and your trying to view it on an older version ? is it a .xls file ? do you have ms office installed ? , if sombody sent it to you ask them to save it as an earlier version ?

    edit - create a new excel file type some numbers and save it and see if there are any problems
