Also, tried tools,options general, ignore other apps. Still no go.
Ive loaded open office and managed to load the excel spreadsheet in
question, but it is frozen on the active sheet. I need to access two
other sheets. "Not Responding" after 10 ten minutes.!!!

How do I open the spreadsheet file so as to extract my data??

How do I open the spreadsheet file so as to extract my data?

Excel loads fine by itself, it just crashes when I try to open my
spreadsheet..

Thanks in advance,

Hi Noel,

This isn't guaranteed to solve the problem, but it's worth a try. Use
Windows Explorer to search all of your hard disks for files with a .XLB
extension. Delete any that you find. Note that these may be a hidden files,
so you'll need to set Explorer to show hidden files before searching.

Excel uses these files to store information about its toolbar
configuration, but they frequently become corrupt and cause strange errors
like this. Excel will create clean new default versions after you delete the
old corrupt ones, but you will lose any toolbar customizations you've made.
