What is the meaning of these pages?

[PuuhaPete]

I had a real trouble with my SW and sent my question here but obviously I
will never get any answer?

When browsing the other threads I noticed that most are including only the
question, no andwers - are they all already dead if they are not worth of
answering - should I also be?

no. the person who has the answer hasn't read the thread
yet.
do you have a question?
Post it and see.

Hi

doing a google search turned up a question that you asked on Jan 4 to the
microsoft.public.excel.crashesgpfs newsgroup
---quoted---
"The following error occurs sometimes in Excel-97;

When trying to copy any selected area the error occurs:

The instruction at "0x30107369" referenced memory at "0xd0331e4c". The
memory could not be "read"<

Since this error found first time and it continues on any attempt of copying
and I haven't get rid of it - any ideas to solve this?
--end quote---

i personally do not read this newsgroup and i'm not sure how many people do
(ie i'm not sure if it is still an "active" newsgroup), also if you don't
receive an answer in the newsgroup it is possible that no one knows the
answer. You need to remember also, that all the people who answer questions
here are doing it entirely voluntarily for no renummeration of any sort and
therefore really have no obligation to provide solutions. You might like to
investigate the local computer repair shop / consultant type person who can
a) see the actual problem, b) run diagonistics on the computer and c) has an
incentive to fix it - ie money!

However, having said that you didn't mention what you had done to try and
fix it? ... have you uninstalled & re-installed excel?, have you run a
diagnostic on your system to see if there is, in fact, a problem with the
RAM in the computer? does it happen when you copy in Word? ... these are
just some of the questions that spring to mind -

Cheers

Great answer. Just a heads-up for all the group is still live, I know myself
and Jan Karel answer quite a few in there.

It is a tricky group as crashes are very difficult to diagnose, people post
huge dumps of registers from Dr Watson, expecting that tells us something.
(I suspect there are about two people in the world who know what that means
and they are paid too much to frequent these groups), but as we also know
also, there are many times when the software in which the problem is
occurring is not always the culprit.
