Office XP Programs bomb in WinXp

W

Wes Lucas

Several programs in Office (Word, Excel) blow up in Win XP with no error
message. Program just closes. This also happens, sometimes, with other
programs, such as IE 6+ & Quickbooks Premier, for instance. I am suspicious
of Memory problems, as that's the last thing that I've done to the machine
(IBM NetVista). I upgraded to the max Memory (2Gig). I had similar problems
with generic memory; and then switched to IBM speced Memory; but I am having
the same problems. The memory checks out with several diagnotic programs
suggested by the Microsoft community site.

I do not have this problem when I limit Memory to 1.5gig. Any ideas?

Do you regularly clear out your temp folder? You might also try tuning
down your hardware accelerator to see if this is a graphic problem?
