may be they have some update which your system is missing which is required to run the game, like SP3 or Office Compatibility Pack SP1 or such !!!

There are several games in Excel and a few in Word too. You can Google to find out more and update your knowledge, instead of laughing and mocking at someone who has come here to ask for help!

tell me 1 thing...when u open the game's excel file then MS Office pop-up a screen with 'enable/disable macro' option???

 

[dhanusaud]

Lemme know if you have SWF player installed in your system or drag the game in Inter Explorer.

It sud work fine now.

I think game requires flash player , but i have already installed flash player .

 

[quad_master]

flw dis-
open that excel > tools > macro > security > set the security level to 'medium' > save the changes

reopen the excel file...'enable the macro' option...bingo!!

Last guess:
seems you are trying to run game directly from zip folder.
first extract into a folder, then run it.

 

[smile]

Not a zip folder .... i got a mail and i saved it and its an excel file.
