| Guest | Re: Excel - "has stopped working" - WHY??? Hi Alex, A question better suited for an Office group, however see if this helps: First, make sure you've downloaded and installed any updates from Office Update: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/do...s/default.aspx Second, click the Office Icon button at upper left, then Excel Options. Go to Resources in the left column, then click on the line to "run microsoft office diagnostics". -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Alex" <Alex@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:3524A4D6-887E-492C-A4DB-96BF110DB566@microsoft.com... > Does anyone know why nearly every time I close a file in Excel it stops > working? i keep getting the rather useful messages telling me it's > stopped > working and then that it's restarting.

| Guest | Re: Excel - "has stopped working" - WHY??? Thanks Rick! However, I really should have mentioned that this happening using Vista + Office 2003, not 2007. Any ideas now?

| Guest | Re: Excel - "has stopped working" - WHY??? Hi Alex, They both still apply, though the repair method for 2003 is different. IIRC, you will find it under the Help menu in that version, or you can simply insert the CD and use the repair option. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Alex" <Alex@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:39AEC710-2B31-4D40-B61F-F751990B257A@microsoft.com... > Thanks Rick!

| Guest | Re: Excel - "has stopped working" - WHY??? Hi, I tried your solution but it's just happened again. All I did was open an Excel document, print it, then close it again using the "x" in the top right corner. I repeated this again but closed it using "File", "Exit" and Excel stopped working again. Any other ideas? "Rick Rogers" wrote: > Hi Alex, > > They both still apply, though the repair method for 2003 is different.
