Excel stops working due to Btsendto_office.dll: HELP !

Question

Since a week I have the following problem in my new VISTA Home premium Inspiron 1720. When I start the computer it almost immediately displays a message telling that the WMI has stopped working and when I try to start Excel (MS Office 2003) I get the message that also Excel has stopped working with the following diagnostic message

I went on their website, but I was not able to find anything useful.

Instead Word, Powerpoint, Visio 2003 PRO , Project 2003 PRO , Outlook 2003, Access are working properly (at least till now)

Has anybody an idea how to make Excel again working? Shall I reinstall Office or Excel alone? Is any workaround available ?

Thanks in advance

Looks like this is caused by a Blue Tooth add-in in Excel.   Exit Excel   Click Start, Run, then type   regedit   Click OK and Continue   Locate the following key   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins   Look for something with the BlueTooth entry. Single click and look at the right hand column for an entry 'Load Behavior'. Right click this entry and choose Modify. Change the value from 3 to 0 and click OK. Exit the registry editor. (You may have to restart your PC for the fix to take effect.)
