Vista - Excel restart when opening 2 or 3 files same time

Hi,

I have started vista with 2003 office package a while ago. When opening 2 or
3 excel files in the same time: microsoft has found a problem and excel needs
to be restarted. It might take several minutes and then message: Microsoft
can not fix this problem. Usually I got recovered versions of my files but
that makes working with excel very slow. Any help for this?

Thanks.

Hi Outi--

Usually I'll tackle Office app problems no matter how out of place they are.
We see them on the setup group all the time,and I've never understoood what
the hell they have to do with Vista setup other than the poster doesn't
think to search for the appropriate Office app group. It's faster to answer
the question than read the bitching lol in the vein "quit trying to regulate
the newsgroups" when the idiots don't understand that you're trying to get
the best quality help for them in the subspecialty group. It reminds me of
a male going to an OBGYN for help (lol again).

But this isn't a Vista problem per se, and I'd be doing some googling to
find out and searching through the http://support.microsoft.com KB articles.

If you can give me a very specific error message from Event Viewer or what
you saw, I'll take a swing, but why not post this on the Excel group?

Also since it's Office 2003, you can use Help>Detect and Repair to try to
fix this.

If you're accessing via Win Mail, it's the microsoft.public.excel group and
you can subscribe by simply typing "excel" in the group search. It's full
of Excel MVPs and experts who are there every day.

You access event viewer by typing "eventvwr.msc" in run (lose quotes)>expand
Windows events on the left pain>Application and arrow down to the time the
error happened or any events labled Excel.

Good luck,

CH

Hi,

Sorry for stupid questions in wrong place. It is nice to hear to be an
idiot... but thanks for reply...

I search for http://support.microsoft.com but that is telling only how to
fix this office 2003 problem with XP and office 2000.

microsoft.public.excel group is very useful place but no information about
this problem connected to vista.

Excact error messge is:
Microsoft Office Excel has stopped working. A problem caused the program to
stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a
solution is available.

"I search[ed] for http://support.microsoft.com but that is telling only how
to
fix this office 2003 problem with XP and office 2000.

What error did you search out since you haven't told us what it is
preventing us from searching it out?

Pray tell what is "this Office 2003 problem" that you have left undescribed?

If that's all the info you're getting I'd run Detect and Repair. MSFT has a
lot of stupid errors that say they don't know how to solve the problem at
this time and most of them won't be solved when Bill Gates is a great
grandfather. They have been pulling that crap with error messages in event
viewer when you click the links for 25 years. They also frequently compose
their metastatic, ectopic logs flung to the four corners of the Windows OS
in HEX which can't be metabolized and interpreted without special tools and
traning.


1) The question wasn't stupid. It was however without any detail and having
fixed a lot of Office component problems, many of them depend on a detailed
description of the error you failed to give and didn't take the 3 clicks to
Event Viewer (have you ever gone there to try to retrieve specific messages
which are often there?) to try to give a specific error so you could get
decent help from us.

3) Of course they are in the wrong place but if you had given a specific
error message I would have tried to help and always do.

4) Did you try detect and repair which is one mechanism present in both
Office XP and Office 2003 to fix problems like the non-specific one you
mentioned, i.e. Excel won't open (but not without the specific error you're
getting that you may not have seen because you didn't go to Event Viewer)?

5) What happened when you ran Detect and Repair?

6) What did they say on the Excel group to your nebulous post?

Hi,

Thanks. Office 2003 problem is: You receive an error message and then the
program quits unexpectedly when you use a program of Office 2003.

Error Signature:

Application Name Application Version Module Name Module Version Offset
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
excel.exe 11.0.5612.0 gdiplus.dll 6.0.3260.0
00082f15

Detect and Repair I have tried already - need to install Office 2003 again
but problem is still there.

I haven't got reply from excel group yet.

What means event viewer? There is no place to go when excel is closing -
just two messages in screen:

1) Microsoft Office Excel has stopped working.
2) A problem caused the program to stop wroking correctly. Windows will
close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

You might try OpenOffice.org - it's more robust.

Hi Outi--

If event viewer does not yield a more specific error, here's what I'd do if
It were my box. If event viewer does yield a more specific error, then
please post it here.

Event Viewer is a type of diary or chronicle of events that is more
sophisticated in Vista, but still is woefully pathetic for my money because
when you click on the links that are supposed to define most Windows Vista
errors, they link you to a page that says "we don't know what the hell is
going on but we're working on it."

I would undertstand if they did that occassionally, but the clowns and
clownesses on the Event Viewer team do it the majority of times.

That said, it can be useful:

I did not mention and don't mention Event Viewer on these groups without
telling people precisely how to use it, and I did this for you in my
previous post. Here is a description that contexts it and how to use it
from MSFT #1 and #2:

http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/win...u=event+viewer

Event Viewer Vista
http://technet2.microsoft.com/Window...bb5d21033.mspx

If you don't get adequate information by typing "eventvwr.msc" in run box
without quotes (run box comes up by simultaneously holding down the Windows
key on lower left keyboard and the R key)>click on Windows in the left pane,
click on applications and arrow down for Excel errors at the time when you
try to open Excel, then I would do this:

1) Run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility downloaded at the bottom of
this link. It's a simple box and you highlight the almost 8-10 items that
mention MSFT Office or its applications including the language ones. This
gets rid of corrupt files and registry items in the way of the uninstall and
then the subsequent install.

Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

2) Reinstall Office 2003 and turn off your AV program during the install
because some of them perceive Office's code as malicious.

In your opinion... that's not how I see it.

I tried to like OpenOffice. But, I don't.

I see. You tried it. You didn't like it. Ergo it is not more robust. Great
logic.
