Excel Program Error - Excel.exe Generated Errors Message
Opening Excel from Start Menu or opening excel file generates following
message: "Excel.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created." I have uninstalled Office 2000 and reinstalled. I have also tried clicking the repair option. I have also tried the customized install with templates checked for run from my computer. I have read http://support.microsoft.com/default...B;EN-US;280504 Under Excel Startup Folders, I have read 240150. I do not have the folder C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft. Nor is it under the d drive. It is not re-installing when loading. I can start excel under /s but not under /automation. I have searched for a excel.xlb or username.xlb file and one is not found on c or d drive. I renamed the excel.pip file to excelold.pip. I couldn't change the pip extension. Please help me to correct this problem. Thanks, Denise |
First, I'd search for just *.xlb -- maybe you'll have better luck finding it.
And remember to look through hidden folders and for hidden files. (If starting in safe mode works, that's where I'd put my money--just a guess, though.) If you find any, rename them all to *.xlbold. Then try opening excel normally. If that doesn't help, Chip Pearson has some notes at: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/StartupErrors.htm That you'll want to read.

Hi Dave: Thanks for the additional information. I tried your suggestion and
the suggestions from Chip Pearson and none of them worked. Any more ideas? I'm still able to access from /s Thanks, Denise "Dave Peterson" wrote: First, I'd search for just *.xlb -- maybe you'll have better luck finding it.

Hello Again Dave: The combination of bringing the xlb, pip, and XLStart
files to the desktop and deleting the registry keys was the answer. I can now access from the Start Menu. THANKS!!!
