We're running Excel 2003 with SP3 on Window XP sp3. I have a couple users
experiencing frequent Excel crashes. One of them even got a report of Excel
crashing when Excel wasn't even running. In both cases, when Excel is
restrarted, it "recovers" files that they were not working on. Any clues?

Just a guess...

Try changing the default printer to something else--even if you have to install
a different printer driver for a printer that doesn't physically exist.

I read somewhere that lots (most???) windows crashes are caused by bad printer
drivers.
