any file.

I use leopard 10.5.2 on macbook air

regards,
Piotr Pisarz

This is a strange crash log. Is there any chance that you have any of the
following:

1. Any add-ins loaded (like a custom xlm macro add-in)
2. A preferred file location set in Excel/Preferences... General
3. "At startup, open all files in:" set in Excel/Preferences... General

Also, does the problem go away if you create a new user on the machine and
use Excel when logged in as that user?

Thanks,

Pat

 

[Piotrek Pisarz]

i didn't have any add-ins, at least no any i would have installed

i can't check or change this options in preferences, as excel crashes
right after staring it.

But excel works fine, on a different profile, i created minute a ago.
I've also tried to reinstall ms office, but it didn't help.

Regards,
Piotr

Thank you for the further information. Is there any chance that Excel is
trying to open a workbook via the AutoRecover feature when you launch Excel?
On the original profile, what happens if you hold down the Shift key while
launching Excel?

Thanks,

Pat

 

[Piotrek Pisarz]

yes, there is such a chance.
i tried to cancel it, with pressing cmd + "+", but it still crashed.
When i hold shift, it works. But then, when i close excel and run it
again without shift key it crashes again.

regards,
Piotr

It appears that your problem is related to a corrupted AutoRecover file that
is crashing Excel at startup. These files are located at
~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 AutoRecovery. See if there is a
file in that directory, and if so, delete it.

Alternatively, start XL with the Shift Key down, then close it. That
should delete any autorecovery files.

I can start Excel as long as I hold the shift key down. But if I don't, the beach ball keeps spinning and then it finally crashes. I've deleted all the autorecovery files as well?

With XL closed, delete or rename the

com.microsoft.Excel.plist

file in the ~:Libraryreferences folder (where ~ is your home
directory). If you do this with XL open, it won't work.

Also, check your Startup Folder (by default

HD:Applications:Microsoft Office 2008:Office:Startup:Excel:

but you may have set an alternate in Preferences/General). Move/delete
any files there.
