Hello Sanjib! Did installation of "the patch" fail, or did opening of an xlsx/xlsm file fail? What error did you get?
When you say "the patch", do you mean the Compatibility Pack for Office? The latest Compatability Pack is at http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en <http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=3> &id=3 Ensure you follow all the instructions. They emphasize several times that you need to go to Microsoft Update first and install all high priority updates before installation. That especially means updates for Office, but, I think, Windows too. (http://update.microsoft.com). If you installed the Compatability Pack but not the updates from Microsoft Update, you might be able to open your file by double=-clicking in Windows Explorer, but not by File>Open or drag and drop.
