remove any files in the xlStart directory (except for personal.xls). Also
go into Tools=Addins, and uncheck any non-standard addin.

If that clears up the problem, start adding back things one at a time and
then close and start excel and until you find the one that is causing the
problem.

The user is also running office 97. When he opens a excel
