Hi all,
I'm pulling out what little hair I have left, just about yesterday I tried
to open an Excel spreadsheet I had previously created and the Excel window
opened, but the data area stays grey with the hourglass, when I click to
close (red X) windows reports it has stopped responding.
Powerpoint and Word seem to be acting similarly.
I have inserted the Office CD and repaired the installation twice and then
in desparation, restored to an earlier date, which seems to have failed for
some reason.
I have up to date virus protection and have run both Windows Defender and
AdAware SE and both say I have no malware.
Following a crash, I can get Word and Powerpoint to start in safe mode, but
I don't know where to go from there to assess what the fault is.
Any help would be very greatly received.
Thanks in advance
Gary
