I have a user with a very strange problem. While running Excel 2003
(11.8169.8172) SP3 on XP SP3, Excel will crash and leave behind the following
Application log entry:
The description for Event ID ( 1000 ) in Source ( Microsoft Office 11 )
cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer.
You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see
Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event:
excel.exe, 11.0.8169.0, 465f27bd, mso.dll, 11.0.8172.0, 46771b00, 0, 000fe521.
The user works primarily with a sheet that is about 2MB in size, is stored
on a Server 2003 file share and is opened concurrently by 5 or 6 users daily.
No one else experiences this crashing. Now for the strange part, to deal with
this problem and for general cleanup I wiped her machine, reinstalled Windows
XP Pro from scratch, then Office 2003, updated everything and after she had
the same problem! Now, I have purchased a new Dell Precision Mobile M2400,
installed O2k3 and guess what? Same crashing problem! I have used a different
copy of O2k3 CD for this new machine than before.
I'm not finding much for this situation out there, the only common strand I
can identify is that each time I have copied the entire "My Documents"
contents to the new install/machine. Could there be some file(s) in this
structure such as a normal.dot equivalent that is causing this to happen?
Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated, I'm pulling my hair
out on this one
