Excel program wont restart?

[Todd_M]

Maybe some could help with this problem. I was in the middle of ajusting some items on a usersheet on my project, when a message appeared that my system resources where low! I coundnt undo anything that I did because the program froze up. I exited the program without saving those last adjustments and now I cant reopen it. When I try to reopen, the screen just turns white, and freezes. Worst yet is the back up disk wont open either on my "D" drive. All my other excel programs open and are not affected. I rebooted the computer, but it still didnt open the program. I uninsalled microsoft 2000, then reinstalled it and still the program wont open including the back up disk!. I have no idea why this happend and what is really strange is the back up disk isnt working. The back up disk worked this morning with no problem. Please help???

Sounds like a file corruption issue. These usually end badly with very little or none of the data able to be recovered.

However, there are things you can do. First, try opening the document with Excel 2002. It's error recovery is very good and there is a chance of it recovering some of the data. Often the formulas and formatting are lost though.

If you like, send it to me at mark@markhenri.com and I'll have a look at it. I'll return it if I can get it to open.

Check out Q142117 at the Microsoft's support site, support.microsoft.com for more ideas on data recovery.

Since you get two free support calls with the Office suite, you could call Microsoft Support at 425-635-7056 for assistance. Don't expect a miracle though. These calls are really frustrating for us as well as you and though we do are best, sometimes, there isn't much we can accomplish.

Hi
Excel could still be hanging on to a temp file created at the crashtime.
find your TEMP-folders and clean them out.

if that doesn't do it try to reinstall excel's setting.
From the tastbar choose Start->run and write Excel.exe /unregserver
Excel then unrigisters
Then write
Excel.exe /regserver
