I am trying to open the collection file in excel but it locks up.  Is there something I am missing?

I am not being neither......I genuinely am trying to figure out how to do this.  Everytime I download the list from profiler and then try to open the download it locks up and will not open.  I am not familiar with all of this and really would like some help.

If you want to have profiler data in Excel, the best is to use Mark Harrison's plugin CSV Export. You can choose the fields you want, and get a collection.csv file that can be opened without problem with Excel.

The Collection.xml? You can open that one in a text-editor, but you'll see that this doesn't help much either. 
To work with the XML you'd need a XSLT-file to bring it in something useful to you. See my signature.

If you only need certain fields in a csv that you can open in Excel the CSV Plugin surfeur51 mentioned is the way to go.
