Excel Shutdown

Excel Shutdown

Lately, I will be in the middle of working on an excel spreadsheet and I will
get a "This program has performed an illegal function and will shutdown" error
(along with an annoying sound). I end up having to close the program without
saving my work. Very frustrating as you can imagine. What's up?

Re: Excel Shutdown

Scott,

You may want to check for viruses on your system. You may also want to set
Excel to save your spreadsheet every 5 minutes. You might try loading the
service packs available for your system and any other Microsoft applications
you have.

Good Luck,

Gerard

Re: Excel Shutdown

Hi,
I suggest the following:

1) Increase the virtual memory of your Operating System (Control Pannel)
2) Activating the AutoSave Option on Excel: Tools/Adds-Ins/
3) Install any security software in your computer, like a Norton CrashGuard.
4) If you Operating system is Windows NT, check the Event viewer system:
Programs/Administrativo Tools/Event Viewer and you to identify the problem
(memory, process,...)

I hope that are useful.
I apologize for my english, Best regards.
