Hi,

It's possible that OARTCONV.DLL, which helps Excel in opening files, is corrupted or actually missing from your computer system. This may be a result of virus or malware infection on your computer, or some changes on your PC.

To fix this issue, we recommend using the System File Checker (SFC) tool. Check out this article for detailed steps in using SFC.

If using SFC will not work, you may repair your Office application by following the steps on this link.

Let us know how it goes.
