Excel 2000 Freezes computer when trying to close

[Guest]

Office 2000 SBA. Computer freezes when trying to close excel. Can open, enter
data, print, and close spread sheet ok. If I try to close program, computer
locks up and I have to re-boot to bring it back. Other programs within the
Office suite work fine. Removed, re-installed, and all office updates
installed, still no help. Running win98 SE, 256MB ram. Program worked fine
for many years previously till now. Thought I might have picked up a virus,
but a full virus scan turned up nothing.

Any help will be appreciated,

Sounds like you have a corrupt file somewhere in Office or Win98. Have you
tried cleaning up your registry and checking your hard drive with something
like Norton System Works?

This is not a "solution". If you want to avoid the computer freeze, try
using Task Manager to kill the Excel process.
