Default Excel XP Crashes

Jeff,

You don't give us much to go on.
Those MS messages really don't provide any help to most users
or developers. Although, I did meet a Cisco employee once who
claimed he could read them.

The latest service pack for Office 2002 is SP3.
I believe the last time I checked that it could be downloaded separately
without going thru the Office update routine.
Also, in the File | Open dialog box, next to the "open" button in the
bottom right corner is a down arrow. Clicking that arrow provides
an option to "open and repair".
If that doesn't work, I would just create a new workbook.

I have a user with a relatively simple Excel spreadsheet - about 5 tabs, a
couple SUMs and other functions; nothing major. Whenever he re-sizes a
column or auto-fills a formula in the spreadsheet, Excel crashes.

The Event Log shows:
EventID 1000: Faulting application excel.exe, version 10.0.6501.0, faulting
module excel.exe, version 10.0.6501.0, fault address 0x000f7fe9.
EventID 1001: Fault bucket 91348980.

The Online Crash Analysis page says there are updates available for Office
that may help, but when we run Office Update, it says we are up to date.

I can reproduce it on Excel XP on another computer with no problem. Any
ideas?
