Microsoft office crashes when saving pro#

Once you've removed a piece of ram, boot up the system, try the same action. It'd be best to leave the one in the 'first' RAM stick location initially. If you can do it, power off the computer, open the case, and pull 1 of the 2 or more sticks of memory out.

I thought that Vista was programmed so that apps wouldn't consistently use the same memory addresses, but this sounds suspect.

Perhaps that one function is hitting one small bad spot in one of your RAM modules every time. Well, to me, it kinda sounds like a possible RAM issue.

Thanks and I hope you all have a great day! These unwanted reboots are wreaking havoc with my Outlook database and my QuickBooks database. especially as I often forget and try to save-as and find myself suddenly starting at a blank screen. It's a real pain in the backside to have to email a file to a co-worker in the office and ask them to convert it for me before I can email it to someone in a different office. Our IT guy pointed me to a Microsoft KB article (/kb/271513), but none of the conditions in that article apply to my situation.

Microsoft office crashes when saving pro#

I am using an XP Pro (SP3) machine with 2 gig of RAM, Pentium 4 CPU at 2.80 GHz. I ran the Microsoft Office Diagnostics and it did not find anything wrong. My default drive is local, my mapped drives are good. This does not occur in any other Office or Microsoft program, only Excel. Whether I use the mouse to pull up the drop-down menu, or I use the keyboard shortcut ALT-F-A, as soon as I get to the A part, the machine reboots. The problem is that every time I try to Save-As, the computer instantly reboots. This version of Excel saves to *.xlsx format by default, which is fine for me but not when I have to email a spreadsheet to someone using an older version of Excel. I have Office 2007 and use Excel on a daily basis.
