Two possibilities:

  1. You accidentally save it as an HTM or HTML file. It will still open in Excel if so. Open the file in Excel and do a Save As back to an XLS (Excel 97-2003 version file) or XLSX (Excel 2007 - 2013 version file).
  2. You associated XLS or XLSX files to be opened with CometBird. If so, right click on the file and choose "Open With," then go to the bottom of the choices and left-click on "Choose default program..." Then choose Excel and you should be all set. Windows will reassociate all your files to automatically open with Excel instead of CometBird.

How i recover my demages excell files

Close down Excel, re-open it and try to open the file again.
If this doesn't work, restart the computer, open up Excel and try to open the file again.
If this doesn't work, delete the contents of your c:windows emp directory then reboot. Try again
If this doesn't work, open Excel in Safe Mode. This will disable VBA and Add-ins.
  • Click on Start then Run then enter (including the quotes and the /s extension): "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeexcel.exe" /s ["C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10excel.exe" /s (for Excel 2002, Office XP, click cancel if the MS Office Installer starts, Excel in safe mode will still start)].
  • Try to open the file.
If this doesn't work, be sure to scan the file for viruses. If you don't find a virus, find the file in Explorer, right click on it and rename it, replacing the .xls extension with the .doc extension. Try to open it as Word document.


If this doesn't work, try to determine if the file is unrecoverable on the disk. Open the file in Explorer and try to copy it to another location.
  • If you can copy the file to another location, skip to step 9. If not, the actual sectors on the disk may be corrupted.
  • If the data is valuable enough to you, seek professional services as a damaged hard disk file recovery is not for the faint at heart.
If the recovered file won't open or you could copy the file to another location, try to open the file in a more recent version of Excel. As the version numbers increase, their ability to recover corrupt files increases. If this doesn't work or such a version of Excel is not available, see if some other spreadsheet application is and try to open the file in that program.

If Microsoft can't help you (see the tips section) and you've exhausted all the free methods above for damaged disk recovered or copyable files there are a number of excellent commercial applications which will recover your files almost immediately.

Depending on what kind of files you need to recover, Recover My Files is an excellent product for recovering the most common file types. If you want to do full data recovery, try Get Data Back for NTFS or FAT32. It is an amazing piece of software.

Hope this helps!
