GPFs

gretings all,
using xl2k.
For some reason, I have suddenly been plagued with General
Protection Faults on a massive scale. We have been able to
track down the casue to microsoft addins. the last was the
Analysis Toolpack - VBA. before unchecking this addin,
pressing any key on the keyboard cause an immediate GPF.
prior to that it was the Autosave Add-in.
With that addin, the GPF occured when excel tried to load
the autosave addin meaning I could not open excel at all.
We un-installed and re-installed excel from disc but that
apparently did not fix the problem.
Has anyone had any experience with this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
tks

I've never seen real issues like this with the add-ins, but I suppose it
could always happen. Firstly I would try detect and repair or possibly even
a re-install over the top, but before you do that look for your toolbar
customisation file *.xlb and delete it. Excel will make a new one, but see
if that helps. Also if you have any custom start-up templates book.xlt or
sheet.xlt try taking them out of xlStart in case they are corrupt.

*.xlb may be hidden so search on hidden files too.
