Excel 2007 "run & exit" Problem caused by Btsendto_office.dll

[Guest]

Most of the time when I Launch/Run or Exit Excel 2007 on my new Vista HP 9000
notebook I get the below error message and Excel either crashes or re-starts;
making it impossible to work under these conditions.

Has anyone have the same problem ? Is there a workaround ? Who should I
contact for support ? Microsoft ? HP ? Because according to Broadcom it is
not their problem.
============================================
Problem caused by Btsendto_office.dll
This problem was caused by Btsendto_office.dll. Btsendto_office.dll was
created by Broadcom Corporation.
Broadcom Corporation is aware of this problem and working as quickly as
possible to make a solution available.

It certainly isn't an Excel issue. They maybe the host application but it is
obvious Broadcom is having problems with the dll in it's add-in

Nick thanks for your answer,

For this " Btsendto_office.dll." problem who is then responsible to provide
a patch if it is not Microsoft who is the Vista/Office/Excel developer ? Is
it HP who is the manufacturer of the Pavilion dv9294ea notebook that I am
using ?

Below is the reply I received from Broadcom:
=========================================
Thank you for your inquiry. Broadcom Corporation acquired WIDCOMM Inc.
software, which was licensed to various 3rd party companies who bundled our
software with their Bluetooth devices. Unfortunately, some of these companies
inadequately left Broadcom's support information in the software interface
instead of replacing it with their own support information.

Each of these companies customizes the software for their particular
Bluetooth device therefore our off-the-shelf standard version of the
software would not work with most 3rd company devices. Please contact the
manufacturer or distributor of your device to obtain software upgrades.

I repeat, it isn't MS. They have no responsibility for any application that
decides it wants to use XL as an interface, etc. It must be the
responsibility of the person trying to integrate. e.g if I wrote code, I
would be responsible for any issues, not Excel (MS)

Looking at the reply from Broadcom, I would look at whatever piece of
equipment is installing it, if that's HP then it's them

Workaround for this problem

Hi,

There is a workaround for this problem. In Excel 2007, go to addins, display the COM addins and disable the "send to bluetooth" add-in.

Regards,
Wim
