Excel crashing with Windows 8.1

I just upgraded to Windows 8.1 now I can't even open a file in excel.
Whenever I click on the Computer to explore to a file Excel Crashes.
This is costing me money in lost billable hours. Who at MS going to fix my issues and to whom at MS do I claim my lost revenue!!!

Hi,
Since some crash issues can be caused by printer driver, please try to remove printer driver for testing.
If the issue still persists, please help to collect the app crash dump file for further research:
First enable app crash dump collection by copying following words into notepad, saving it as dump.reg and importing it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\localdumps\EXCEL.EXE]
"DumpFolder"=hex(2):63,00,3a,00,5c,00,63,00,72,00,61,00,73,00,68,00,64,00,75,\
00,6d,00,70,00,73,00,00,00
"DumpCount"=dword:00000010
"DumpType"=dword:00000001
"CustomDumpFlags"=dword:00000000
Then, open Excel to repro the issue. If crash issue appeared, please find the crashdump file under c:\.
To further help you, please upload this file into Skydrive and shared the link here.
Also, you can try to analyze dump by yourself if you would like to：

Re: Creative Centrale Crashes with Windows 7 64 bitmThank You KoKChoy-CL....
I had to Format to fix that issue. Now it worked so I could see the Zen 300 but did crash during tranfering music. I have tried it twice now. Once the Window 7 crashes, I cannot get the Centale program to enter my Zen.
Just a hint about how to get into the Zen Recover mode. Start off.. then push the on button and once you see the screen, quickly press back button holding them both down at the same time.

The program still crashed during transfering files to my Zen... I keep trying but I can always tranfer using Window 7 just by transfering from one folder to the next folder.

I try to play a video through itunes but everytime it tries it causes the software to crash with windows 7.

Has anyone had this problem? I've tried to play a video through itunes but everytime it tries it causes the software to crash with windows 7. I have the newest updates.

Try the following user tip:

Itunes keeps crashing with windows 7

iTunes 7 keeps crashing on windows 7. please help.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Firefox constantly crashing with Windows 7

My computer was upgraded about a week ago with a new hard drive, new version of Windows (7 64 bit) installed on it, and everything else newly installed and up to date as far as I know, including the latest version of Firefox (26.0). Prior to this I had been using Firefox on XP without issue, but now with Windows 7, Firefox crashes multiple times a day. I did not have this problem before. It doesn't seem to matter what kind of page I'm on when it crashes. All I know is it's becoming almost pointless to use because I don't know how long it will work before it crashes again. I love Firefox and want to be able to use it normally! Here is a list of the crashes. Please help!

Problems with exporting PWA views (grids in general) to Excel 2010 with Windows 8 + IE 10 as a client configuration

Hello,
I wondering if windows 8 + IE10 is a supported client configuration for PWA (Project Server 2010). I am unable to export PWA views to Excel 2010. No problems with Windows 7 + IE8/9
Any ideas?
thanks,
Daniel
Daniel Villacis

Hi,
We followed the below steps in the local machine and check the behavior.
a. Open the Windows registry editor (regedit.exe)
b. Go the location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\excel.exe
c. Here, you’ll see a string value named “useURL”
d. Rename this value to something else. For example “useURLx”
Note: You might have to restart the machine to apply the registry change to take effect.

Zen touch, crashing with Windows XP professional, not working with Windows media pla

i will start with an apology if someone has posted this up before i have just had a quick look and could not see any think about this.
if i turn my computer on with out running any other programs and connect the zen touch the computer automatically turn on the zen touch media player program. this work's fine as long as no other programs are running.
i have tried to work the zen touch with Windows media player but this dose not work and the computer crashes every time.
i have window xp professional and have all up dates from Windows. my computer is very new and has more then enough memory and ram.
please can you help. i am not to happy with the zen touch computer program and would like to know how to fix this problem.
thank you for your help
Rob the monkey

I wonder if there are problems here associated with the use of the zen touch on SP2 machines. Interestingly I cannot transfer music from my PC to my Zen 20gb on a SP2 machine but I can do so on my sisters machine which has got SP. Obviously having the lastest firmware is a good idea though but I believe there are issues associated with SP2 and as you say you have all the latest updates to windows perhaps the problem lies there. Sorry if this doesn't help you at all

Itunes 10.2.1 crashing with windows XP

We have downloaded itunes 10.2.1 on to our PC with windows XP. It just crashes whole computer.
Did the same with 10.1.1; removed the program and reloaded 10.2.1 but still crashes.
Any suggestions?

Can you describe what happens when your computer crashes.
Do you see any error message, if so give the error message in full.
Does the computer freeze so you ahve to restart, or do you get a blue screen stop.
If you get a blue screen, can you give the error numbers. Also if any file is mentioned in the error give that too.
If the computer just freezes with not error message, look in you Event Viewer after restarting to see if there was an error message there.
Does Quicktime work normally, or does that crash too?

DAQcard 6024E crashes with windows 2000

I am using a daqcard with windows 2000pro and labview 7 and it occasionally stops responding and I have to do multiple re-boots of the pc before it starts working again. it also seems to occasionaly have problems being recognised by windows and max, sometimes it is picked up by one and not the other. Is this a patchable windows bug as i dont seem to have the same problems on a different pc also running win 2k pro. (but i haven't run on the other pc as long as the one with the probs) i have also noticed that if power it connected to the I/O on the daq card, the problem occurs more often on bootup of the pc.

Testing the DAQCard in another laptop is a good first step in order to verify that the problem is probably with the configuration of windows and software rather than with the hardware. It appears that your DAQCard is working properly since you do not see the problem on a different computer.
Often times problems with PCMCIA devices can be a result of the PCMCIA socket or the PCMCIA drivers and software. The following Knowledgebase contains good information on debugging problems with PCMCIA cards and discusses how to remove any 3rd party socket services (that are usually installed onto mainstream laptops) and replace it with the default Windows software:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/7CBFAB1E451C3A1886256D98006914AE?OpenDocument
In your particu
lar case you might check the resources and software settings of the two laptops to see if they are noticeable different. In particular check to see what software controls the PCMCIA devices and if there are other background programs running that might cause problems with Windows on your first machine.
Also, you will want to check to the version of NI-DAQ that you have installed to see if that is different between the two computers. All versions of NI-DAQ can be downloaded from our website (ni.com/support) if you wish to upgrade, with our latest version being NI-DAQ 7.1.

CS3 seizing/crashing with Windows 7

I have bought a new computer running Windows 7.
My CS3 keeps seizing up when using some tools. I can't be precise because when it seizes I am so annoyed that I forget to log which tool caused the problem but an educated guess - it's non specific. It can happen anytime.
It opens Ok and I start working on a photo and then, at some time during the process, it seizes up.. I have downloaded all applicable updates.
I am assuming it is Windows 7.
If it is then it's a problem because I do not have any other computer.
I appreciate that CS3 was not designed for windows 7 but I am sure that Adobe must have upgraded CS3 to cope with new windows software. Or have they?
Any advice please?
As a secondary question - If CS 3 not compatible with windows 7 - Is CS4 compatible? I really can't afford CS5.

What the devil are you talking about, Andrew? All the Microsoft x64 operating systems run 32 bit software perfectly. They always have.
Not only that but 32 bit Photoshop can actually access much more RAM than its normal 2GB limit on a Windows x64 operating system, because each 32 bit application is given access to more of the full 32 bit address space than on a native 32 bit operating system.
And 2.6 GB of RAM is more than plenty to run Windows x64. A well set up system actually takes up only about 0.6 GB.
Andrew, you should actually try things yourself before making statements. May I suggest you invest some time and effort into a virtualization environment, such as VMware, so that you might gain some personal experience with such things.
It is in NO WAY "just plain stupid" to use an x64 operating system with 2.6 GB of RAM. It may be all the computer hardware that cymruboy has can handle, and it's the best system he could have chosen for a variety of reasons.
While I agree that more RAM may help, I suspect that cymruboy will see better Photoshop operation just by turning Photoshop's memory usage limit down to about 60%.

Excel Crashing with PERSONAL.XLSB enabled

I have been trying to get a PERSONAL.XLSB file to work for some time now and it keeps crashing excel. I placed the file in the XLSTART folder under appdata/roaming...etc, and it works fine when I start EXCEL through an old file on the desktop.
However, once I try to generate an excel file through a third party program, excel crashes during the file generation. After which PERSONAL.XLSB is disabled (which I can reenable by going through the addin options). Once I reenable the file I
have the same issues.
Summary: It works on old files, but excel crashes when I am trying to generate an excel file through the third party program, and then it is disabled.
I am not sure what the issue is, but here is the error log.
