Hi Windows XP gurus,

How do I read a .xls file sent as an attachment to MS Outlook Express? I do not have Excel on my Windows XP computer. I saw on the web there is a free xlviewer, but it looks like it only works with Windows 95 and NT.

the excel viewer will work with windows xp, just make sure you create a restore point prior to installing, just in case. find the excel viewer here: http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/xlviewer.aspx
