Please clarify what is your last sentence means
list separator is a comma & even resetting, double OK button & reboot doesn't change the format
What is your default list separator, comma or not?
You tried to change it, from what on what?

Hi Eva,
Thanks for your reply, sorry for the late response.
I can do open with right click 'open with' & that is set for excel. The problem is that our banks provide statements for downloading only in csv format. During the download comma separation does not function leaving all detail in one line. This is the same whether saved as excel or as csv.
I had similar problem on previous laptop & managed to resolve it by changing the regional settings - for some reason doing that with this one dose not work.
Greetings Gret

Hi Sergei,
thanks for your response, apologies for my late return.
If I to 'Control Panel', 'Region', 'Formats', Additional Settings' - the list separator is already a comma , Tried re entering it & then 'apply' didn't work, read somewhere double click 'OK' also didn't help. Then tried with rebooting, but still no help. Region settings are all identical to my previous laptop, but perhaps something has been changed now.
