It is an Excell file, but for some reason it has PDF symbol, a Red square with white Triangle and when clicked upon it, Adobe Reader tries to open it. We get a message as follows: Adobe reader could not open,*.xclx, because either it is not a supported file type or it has been damaged. The same file opens easily without any problem when opened on other computers, with the same MS Office Professional 2010.

There is nothing wrong with the computer and /or the file. Perhaps it needs change in setting, for which I need help. Hello Sorry no one has followed up with you. It would seem the file associations have been changed or damaged. Easiest thing would be to right-click on the '*.xlsx' file, select 'Open With', select Microsoft Excel and put a checkmark in the box for 'make this the default'.

Click on Ok/Open. You cab also check the following link for more info on seeting default applications: Thanks. Hello, Thank you for your response. I will try your suggestion and hope it works.

This excellent autobiography covers the emotional life of a thoughtful man. ????????? Gsm Carriers. Emanuel Derman examines his conscience dispassionately and honestly, offering a sometimes poignant account of his descent from the world of pure science to the hustle of Wall Street. His memoir flows like a conversation, albeit with many tangents. You’ll learn more than you want about personnel changes at his former firms, but you’ll also gain rare insights into how Wall Street makes decisions, plus a few excellent points about the inadequacy of financial theory as science. Derman’s descriptions of options theory and financial models sometimes approach clarity, but may be far beyond the lay reader’s understanding. GetAbstract recommends this book to avid students of Wall Street and to any academic contemplating a move there.

General readers who would enjoy Derman’s reminiscences, and who do not mind tackling some dense scientific and financial material, will find an in-depth life story with moving reflections on the disparity between youthful ideals and mature compromises.
