OS is Vista Home Basic.  I've done repair installation but didn't fix the 
problem so I remove Office 2007 completely and reinstalled  back but still 
didn't fix the problem.  Apparently, when double clicking Excel 2007 file 
the cursor will change from arrow to ring-like icon for a split second then 
nothings happens.  Take note that old version of excel file opens fine 
through double-click.

Any ideas?

Try deleting the "File Type Association" for the XL 2007 files(.xlsx, xlsm, 
etc.)

Then double click on a XL 2007 file.  It should prompt you to select a 
program to associate(open) the document with.
