xp pc about a year old has been working fine. Suddenly when I open M
Excel 2000 it will load s/s and allow manipulation of data but as soo
as I try to use the tool bar the software freezes and cannot be used.

Virus definitions up to date and no virus showing.

Anybody got any thoughts
 
Maybe you have a corrupt toolbar file, look for a file with the extension
*.xlb
Rename the extension to *.bak or move it from the folder, then excel will
create a new
file. Of course if you have configured it a lot you have to do that again
but if it stops
excel from crashing I am sure it's worth it.

This is often caused by a corrupt toolbar (.XLB) file.

If you remove all your *.XLB files (use Start/Search/Find files or folders)
and recreate them/reinstall them/redownload them, the problem should go
away.
