Appropriately chastised (very politely) by Bob Jones let me start by
apologizing for adding my situation to the bottom of a thread.
I have been noticing that Excel crashes (by which I mean exiting the
program and the worksheet being worked on) and taking all the other
active programs down leaving me with a blue screen. Re starting Excel
without anyother programs leads to a repeat performance prettyy much
straight away.
I have not tried to boot Excel with the Shift Key down but I have
tried (as noted in my earlier post) tried safe booting which allows me
to work on Excel temporarily but loses my sound so I'm soon back to
restarting normally when the problems recur.
I have now repaired permissions and got the following messages:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/
ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not
be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Locum" has been
modified and will not be repaired.
These were changed when I was undergoing extensive Excel assistance
earlier this year when I was on OS10.5.
The move to system 10.6.1 seemed initially to reduce problms with
Excel but in the last two weeks these crashes have been occuring.
I have gone back to your note and here are additional responses.
I do not keep track of crashes and when it is bearable I accept that
sometimes things like this happen. Yesterday I was working on a
spreadsheet which required certain functions. When I pressed on the
function icon I noticed that the dialog box (to enter the data) was
coming up with only the very bottom showing in the window soon after
moving it down to where I could enter the data the program was
crashing. It happened repeatedly last night and got me frustrated
enough to try to fiund whether you had issued an upgrade or Mac had
issued an upgrade. with no upgrades I went to the google groups site.
I launch no helper programs that I am aware of but in looking at the
startup login items I notice the following:
Palm Desktop Background, AirPort Base Stration Agent, Epson Scanner
Monitor, istat menus helper, smcfan control, transport monitor,
finderpop-daemon, dropbox, HPeventhandler (all users).
I have not logged on using a different user but can if you want me to.
I have not launched Excel while holding Shift but can if you want me
to.
I have to admit that this is an intermittant happening so difficult to
do testing for (and I understand) difficult to diagnose.
If it makes a difference I am using a MacMini:
Model Name: Mac mini
Model Identifier: Macmini3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MM31.0081.B06
SMC Version (system): 1.35f0
Thanx in advance for monitoring these boards and helping out as you do
