I have migrated excel sheets from my old laptop Excel 2003 and Windows XP
professionel to too new laptops with Vista Home Student and Excel 2007.
On one new laptop everything works fine on the other one excel shuts down
when I try to update links between different files.

I cannot find anything in poperties which is different.
What did I do wrong?

When you say Excel "shuts down", does it say anything before it goes?

First thing to try would be a detect and repair of Excel on that
machine.

Dear Bill,
thank you for your reply.
It does not say anything. Windows wiglet comes up informing that it is
looking for a solution and is trying to recuperate. But the problem remains.
I have tried first repair, then uninstall and reinstall of office Home
Student to no avail.

I am using on this laptop a Spanish version of Vista because I bought it in
Madrid the Office Home Student however is a German version.
On the other laptop where I have no problems I am using a German Vista
version Could this be the problem and when how to fix it?

unlikely to be more help on this one.

In Windows XP if an application faults there is a window with a Send
Error Report button on it; it has a link to another dialog which shows
details of the error; that dialog can sometimes give a clue as to the
location of the error - excel.exe, vbe6.dll, some other system
component - which can sometimes help towards a solution.

I would hesitate to suggest replacing Spanish Vista with German Vista,
but it might just save you time in the long run?
