Excel 2013 Error - Microsoft Excel has stopped working.

Just downloaded and installed Office 2013 to my new Windows 8 machine. Every time I try to use one of the Office products I receive the following message:
Microsoft has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Please advise.  Thanks.

Hope my experience helps anyone searching for answers to Excel /Word /Office freezing issues.
I have just fixed frozen Excel & Word applications in Office 2010. This happened
some 6 years ago and as my memory gets a bit more rusty every year, it took me sometime
to remember. First instance was with MS XP and Office 2000 - yes, old like me.
Both instances were with my wife's machine, so you can understand the
situation. I spent into the early hours search forums like this and trying all
sorts of fixes that are listed. In the end, the fix that fixed the problem was
to renew the user profile. That is, register anew user, then transfer all of
the files from the corrupted user profile to the new profile. Not an easy job,
but doable for most of us who are technologically challenged.<o:p></o:p>
If anyone wants to try this, then just remember that there three types of files
that are not copied over.  The following site gives the process.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-NZ/windows-vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
Remember that Favorites, email messages and contacts also need to be copied over.
This fix may not necessarily be the solution for everyone's issues with Office applications
freezing, but it fixed mine.
I'm now a hero again in my household :)
P.S. I am still using Office 2000 and it's a great suite of programs. Should still be working after I'm long gone.

  • I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

    I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create>pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

    Provide you have Acrobat 9 installed in an OS for which Acrobat 9 is compatible then you can use the functionality.
    As well, you need a scanner connected, powered up, and the software installed. Acrobat 9 "prefers" TWAIN drivers.
    Always visit the scanner vendor's site and download - install the latest greatest software.
    n.b., The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
    As well the Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
    Be well...

    Hi,
    1. The current version of Acrobat 11.0.09, you check your version, go to Help menu --> About Adobe Acrobat
    2. Append an email to existing pdf, i assume you mean attaching email as pdf to an existing pdf document.
           For that you can follow steps below:
             a. Convert email as pdf, like you know. Once the email get converted to PDF it has portfolio like structure. So you can click on "Open File" like shown in screen shot attached below.
             b. Then how to attach a file with existing pdf you may check steps mentioned in this link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7ca6.w .html

  • Every time I TRY to start firefox 18-19 I get an error message : Firefox has stopped working - close the program and check online for a solution - or - close ..

    Every time I TRY to start firefox 18-19 I get an error message : "Firefox has stopped working" - "close the program and check online for a solution" - or - "close the program" this happens TWICE every time I try to start firefox. Eventually after a random number of tries firefox will start normaly. I am useing firefox 19.0.2 now bit I belive it started when I upgraded to firefox 18 but am not sure, it might have been when I upgraded to firefox 19 ... but it has been happening for a very long time and I cannot find any helpfule solutions online.
    I have tried a Clean reinstall but it did not help.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Error: "Authorware Runtime has stopped working"

    I'm trying to fix a problem our students are having with an
    instructional CD that was made by Ivy Software. I'm getting an
    error "Authorware Runtime has stopped working". I have spent a
    considerable amount of time trying to diagnose and fix this
    problem.
    So far we have been unsuccessful getting it to work on a
    Lenovo factory (OEM) HDD image. It works fine on all other PCs
    running any OS and any version of IE. I’m providing some
    links to documentation I found that may be of help with the
    diagnosis, although none of these documents have solved the
    problem. I have also noticed that the web installation, the first
    link below, for the newest version of the Authorware Player errors
    out on the Lenovo image but works on other PCs. I have put a call
    into Adobe to get the distributable installer for this updated
    version, as described in the 13295 "Technote", but I'm not holding
    my breath. The Adobe support rep. said they would mail me an FTP
    location to dl this installer, "if they can find it". :-P
    It appears that there is no installation, the entire module
    runs directly from the CD and does not install anything to the HDD.
    The files on the CD utilize the Macormedia product called
    Authorware which comes as both a development program and an add-in
    for browsers. The error message we get when we autorun the CD is
    "Authorware Runtime has stopped working". It isn't clear to me
    exactally what it is running from the CD and or from the OS when
    displaying this Macromedia Authorware software CD, since the Task
    manager shows only "start.exe" running from the CD. Start.exe shows
    it is Macromedia Authorware 7.02 in its file properties.

    Update:
    We fixed the problem. If we add the AW7.ini file the program
    runs fine. We created a batch file to do this automatically. Here
    are the lines in the batch file for your later use/analysis...
    @echo off
    @echo .
    @echo .
    @echo Attempting to patch your system...
    @echo [MMXTechnology] > c:\windows\A7W.ini
    @echo MMXEnableCheck=1 >> c:\windows\A7W.ini
    @echo .

    IF EXIST c:\windows\A7W.ini (GOTO SUCCESS)

    @echo Click on the IVY Patch icon with your right mouse
    button.
    @echo From the menu that appears

    :SUCCESS
    @echo PATCH APPLIED SUCCESSFULLY
    @echo You may now use the IVY Software.
    :END
    pause
    Normally, when the authorware exe file (start.exe) autoruns
    from the Ivy CD it writes the AW7.ini file to the
    "C:\Users\%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Authorware 7"
    folder. On our systems that file does not get created. I've checked
    the permissions on the parent directories, even created these
    directories manually, and then copied the AW7.ini file to that
    location but the program still fails.
    Hope this helps someone else in the future.
