Excel 2000, part of the Office 2000 Pro installed on this machine, will not
start. It GPF's with the send to MS bla bla. It will start in safe mode
Excel.exe /s. I have removed all add-ins, Excel Start items it still fails.
It is fully SP'ed. Yes I have tried repair and also removed Excel and
reinstalled.

Any ideas?

TIA

Try searching for a file called *.xlb

When you find it, rename it and try starting Excel. If the issue has gone
away then you have a corrupt toolbar customisation file. Excel creates a new
one when it can't find it.

If this fails I would think carefully about *any* software you have
installed recently
