I sure hope someone here can help me as I have been chasing this proble
for the past week with no luck.
I have an Excel XP file, about 2MB in size, that locks up Exce
whenever it is loaded. The symptoms of the problem are:
- I can get the file to open when the computer is booted into Window
2000 Safe Mode.
- Trying to close Excel when it has locked up only gets a Program No
Responding message the first time then a Program Being Debugged messag
all subsequent times.
- The computer must be rebooted to clear Excel when Excel locks up.
Simply logging out and logging back in only returns me to a locked u
Excel window.
- This problem only happens on my computer with this one file; I can g
to another computer and open the file with no problems and I can ope
all other Excel files on my computer fine.
- Other people in the office can open the problem file on thei
computers fine.
I have tried the following in an effort to resolve this problem:
- Checked the configuration of Excel. Since I can open it on anothe
computer but not mine, I checked the configuration of Excel on bot
machines. They have the same configuration.
- Installed latest patches. Via Microsoft's Office Update, downloade
and installed latest updates; no change.
- Installed the latest patches for Windows via Windows Update. N
change.
- Tried starting Excel in Safe Mode via /safe and /s. Same problem
Excel locks up when the file is opened.
- Re-registered Excel with Windows via the /regserver option. N
change.
- Tried starting Excel then opening the file (versus jus
double-clicking on the file). Excel starts fine but locks up when th
file is opened.
- Tried starting Excel without add-ins and toolbars. No change.
- Ran Excel's detect and repair. No change.
- Searched all over Google for anyone with a similar problem. No luc
there either.
Any help at all on this one is greatly appreciate
for the past week with no luck.
