Default Excel crashes every few minutes


Hi guys I'm new to this forum so please bare with me.

I am trying to manipulate a lengthy list in Excel 97 using a Win98se
PC.

I've been having hardware problems which I hope are now resolved.
Throughout these problems Excel would occasionaly crash (not freeze)
especially after accepting an autosave request, or even when I
initiated the save myself. Sometimes the program does not crash after
saving.

The problem has got progressively worse, and now it crashes every few
minutes. I don't want to increase the dwell time or turn off the auto
save, as I'm hopeless at remembering to manually save. As I said
before sometimes the program does not crash after saving, so it's 3
steps forward and 2 steps back at the moment.

I've had a quick look at the forum but not really found a solution,
trouble is I'm up against a wall trying to get job done, so I haven't
really got time to trawl the forum.

Below is a copy of the error popup:-

EXCEL caused an invalid page fault in

Anyone got any ideas.

Kind regards,
