Re: Excel 2000 Locking

I had a problem with my Excel 2000 starting (EXCEL.exe has
generated errors...), I read Chip's StartupErrors and
found solution #3 corrected my situation.

3) Start Excel without customized toolbars and menus. A
frequent cause of problems is a bloated or corrupt
customization file. Search your hard drive for *.xlb to
locate the XLB files used by Excel. Be sure to change your
search options to look for hidden files and folders. XLB
files are used by Excel to store your customized menus and
toolbars. Their names and locations will vary depending on
your version of Excel and Windows. When you search for
and find these files, move them to another location, such
as the Desktop. Now start Excel normally
