Default Excel lack of compatibility

How come i am having such a hard time keeping excel 2007 from crashing. Any
time i am using .xls files or a chrat or have more than one file open that
uses a circular reference it just dies. WTF. This is supposed to be easier
to use, more friendly, more stabile, but i have found it to be the opposite.
However i have been using it long enough i am proficient with the ribbon and
have almost forgotten how to use 2003.

But i can't work if i crash it all the time, plus simple things like
changing the decimal place of a chart label can't be done with the tools
anymore you have to open the axis open and format it. WTF would the make it
less functional than the already had it. I would like to combine 2003 with
the ribbon of 2007. but that isn't going to happen. So maybe some one can
tell me if i am missing something and how to get more functionality out of
office 2007 instead of less. Also if anyone has some insight into keeping
Office from exploding any time i try to use an iterative calculation, have a
chart with more than 10 points, or use older .xls files at the same time.
Plus when i work on it in 2007 and my boss proofs what i do in 2003 (because
he refueses to switch) all the formats and text boxes are messed up beyond
belief.

spend 3 days googling but can't find any help suggestions or solutions.
Would had to go back to 2003, but might have to just for a stable system.
