Troubleshooting:E-mails with Excel attachments trying to open in Adobe Reader Error

E-mails with Excel attachments trying to open in Adobe Reader

I work at home occasionally and I forward e-mails home from work.  At work they open OK in Excel, but at home they come thru as an Adobe Reader attachment and I am unable to open them.  I know at one time when I tried to open one at home it asked me how
I wanted to open it and the only program I recognized was Adobe Reader, so I clicked that.  Since then Excel attachments seem to automatically try to open as Adobe Reader.  The Adobe Reader message I get says it could not open because it was either not a supported
file type or because the file has been damaged (for example was sent as an e-mail attachment and was not correctly decoded).  Does anyone know how to try to open in another program or have any suggestions which program to use?  P.S.
I have Windows 7 and use
Windows Live for e-mails at home.

Keys to the Problem E-mails with Excel attachments trying to open in Adobe Reader

Download SmartPCFixer to Fix It (Free)

Hi Beverly
You didn't mention it in your post, so I am asking...Do you have MS Excel installed on your home computer to read the excel files you are emailing to yourself?
Without it, the files will obviously not open, which is why your pc is trying to open with Adobe.
If you do have it installed, follow Chandra's suggestion about file associations.
If you do not have it, check with your employer if they participate in the HUP (MS Home Use Program).
Or you are try the 2010 trial:

Or there are open-source applications that will work, ie open office.
Just do a search for them.
Thanks and hope that helps...
