Excel 97 Crashes when using tools and options

[Bert]

Can someone help with this. When I go into "Tools" and try
to open "Options" (I want to set the location of the
default location)Excel 97 come back with a Dialog box that
says error and asks if I want to send error report. It
then crashes.

Hi Bert,

That article was the only one I could find that specifically mentioned
this problem. Some general things you might try are deleting all files with
a *.XLB extension from your hard drive (Excel uses these to store toolbar
information, but they often become corrupt and cause crashes), and deleting
all files from your temporary directory.
