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,

The first thing I would try is to save your file using "Save As" and
save it somewhere else on your hardrive. In another folder or
something. If this does not help, my string suspicion is that you have
a RAM issue. Replace it.

Hope this helps.
