MAC 2008 Crash when saving in .XLS

Hi!
I got a problem...
Each time I save a excel sheet in .XLS format excel crashes and the application restarts.
The problem is not there when I save in .XLSX format.
I need to use .XLS as I have business associates who still uses Excel 97-2004 for Windows.
I tried first to save in .XLSX format and then re-save in .XLS and to save direct in .XLS format, same happens - each time .XLS selected then the app crashes.
Ideas?

I have this problem too. I would use the converter, but you can't if you have 2008 installed. Exacerbating the problem is that some xlsx files crash when I'm switching sheets... And my data is now lost on these, it seems.
