excel safe mode HelpJim 07.02.2006 13:07:28 I have Office 2000 Premium and I have done something that prohibits Excel from opening. I get the message: Excel.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You must restart your program. I can go to Run and type: "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Excel (2).lnk" /s and the program opens in the Safe Mode and everything works fine. How can I fix my problem. Thank you very much. Jim

If you can't access Excel you can do it from any Office application. You will need the installation CD -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England www.nickhodge.co.uk "HelpJim" <HelpJim[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B074B077-4B34-45D1-9BF8-DC3C272B42BF[ at ]microsoft.com...

If that fails think of anything you may have loaded onto the machine recently. If you have Win XP you could go to start>programs>accessories>system tools and system restore to return it to a previous state -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England www.nickhodge.co.uk "HelpJim" <HelpJim[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B074B077-4B34-45D1-9BF8-DC3C272B42BF[ at ]microsoft.com...
