Solver for Excel 2002 crashing ??

[maksym.senchyna]

Hi,

I was trying to solve a constrained minimisation problem in Excel 2002
using the Solver add-in. Add-in works fine if I have few variables.
But once I increase number of variables up to 170 Excel just crashes
every time i press "solve" button. I know that Solver has a limit of
200 variables but I am still below this. Any ideas why this can happen
and how to solve this?

Thank you!
