Excel 2008 crashes on right click

[section84]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

When I right click, Excel crashes and closes. This seems to affect most but not all spreadsheets. None of the spreadsheets are complex, but most have been created on the PC -- Excel 2000; they are in XLS (rather than XLSX format). It crashes when I right click a selected row, column, or tab. I never knew how much I rely on right click until it started crashing. I am running Excel 12.1.5 and a fully patched version of Leopard.

I have tried copying the content into another, new XLS-format spreadsheet, but it crashes on right click.

I have also tried copying the content into another, new XLSX-format spreadsheet, but that crashes on right click, too.

I've deleted the plists. No help.

Any other suggestions?

I found the problem. But just in case it helps someone else, I thought I'd post what turned out to be the solution.

I reviewed the data in the crash log, and I found yet another left-over artifact from an attempt to install a beta version of Carbonite (specifically: CarboniteCMM.bundle).

Some history: I had major problems with the installation, and I was never able to make it work properly. Carbonite support helped me uninstall it manually (basically, they gave me a list of files to delete), but I have since found several files they overlooked. This appears to the last one. I hope.

I can now right click on the spreadsheets that crashed before.
