I would check in event viewer for any issues. If you are using windows 7 you can just type event viewer at the start bar and it will come up.
Post the outcome or issues as a comment.
After Google-ing I discovered the following steps at http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/excslcreate/thread/93af59c1-946c-4f5f-83c1-bd6f58dbd94f. Note that this is for opening files. I currently believe that that is what the issue is.
I researched some more after after I found the previous quote. But all I could find is people trying to open XML pages that they screwed up. Are you doing anything like that, or is this just when you try to open Excel?
Good Luck-
