Excel file causes 2008 to crash but not 4.5

I have an excel file that is give or take 5MB which controls an excelsis dashboard, I have no issues with the spreadsheet on 4.5 but as soon as I load it into 2008 and try to create a .swf excelsius crashes (even with a blank model).
The file has quite a few vlookups and concatenate's with data in xs of 13,000 rows.
Can anyone give me any hints, does 2008 have more problems dealing with excel formula than 4.5 did?

Gregory,
Here are a few thing to try:
1. Before opening Xcelsius have you ensured that there are no background istances of Excel running (use Ctrl +Alt + Delete) to view process running in background. If so, end the process.
2. If this does not work, try uninstalling, restarting you PC, and reinstalling X2008 again.  This is probably the desired route if you can't even get a blank model to open.  We had to do this as well.
Hope this helps!

  • Some programs crash but not in safe mode or for guest user

    Hoping that some talented and kind Mac wizard will help me solve a bizarre problem: Some but not all of my programs have started crashing immediately upon launch, but not in safe mode, nor when I log in as a guest user.
    The problem began on February 5th, right after I installed an update to my OS (bringing it up to version 10.7.3), which included an update to the firmware for my computer, a Mac mini from mid-2010. The programs that began crashing upon launch *may* be those that were open at that time, but I can’t be sure. They include Adobe Reader, Picasa, Word for Mac, and a sweet little utility called uCalendarX.
    Specifically what happens with, say, uCalendarX, is this:  After I launch it, nothing appears on screen for a few seconds, and then comes a message that it is trying restore its windows, with a choice of whether to attempt restoring them or not. After a few more seconds comes the news that it has quit unexpectedly. The first several dozen lines of the crash log appear at the end of this posting.
    So far my troubleshooting has revealed the following:
    (a) When I reboot in safe mode, the programs that crash now work normally.
    (b) When I boot the usual way but log on a guest user, the programs that crash now work normally.
    (c) Fully emptying the trash made no difference.
    (d) The problem was not solved by restoring my hard drive (via Time Machine) to its state the day before I downloaded that update to the OS and the firmware. (This was a drastic step, the intervention of last resort, and I was sure it would work. But no. Perhaps I did not go back far enough for the restoration.)
    (e) Deleting the plist files and plist.lockfiles made no difference.
    (f) Deleting the files for the app under Saved Application States made no difference.
    (g) Disabing the user’s font cache (as happens in safe mode) made no difference.
    (h) Uninstalling Adobe Reader, emptying the trash, downloading the latest version, and installing that made no difference – this latest version newly installed continues to crash (but not for a guest user, nor for me, the administrator, in safe mode).
    (i  ) Repairing permissions on the hard drive made no difference.
    I will be mighty grateful for a solution to this perplexing, vexing problem!
    B.t.w., I don’t know Unix but was able to do all those (fruitless) interventions listed above.

    Thanks for thinking about my problem. I've already experimented with creating a new user, a co-administrator. The programs don't crash when that account is running, just as they don't crash when the guest-user's account runs. So it seems that the problem is limited to the default user's account, which is the one that was running when I installed the updates to the OS and the firmware. Another clue is that the programs that crash as soon as they are launched are *probably* the ones that were open at that time in that account. Yet deleting Saved Application States does not keep the programs from crashing when next launched.
    So the mystery continues, but these additional facts will help with the diagnosis, I hope.
    Thanks again for your suggestion.

  • How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?

    How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?  I am fimilar with changing the setting for all network partitions(defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true), but that is undesirable when I connect my laptop to my home network. A preferable solution would be where I could control the writing of these files based on disk format (NTFS vs HFS+).

    Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for ds_store. There are numerous utilities for preventing them from being transferred to Windows systems.

    Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

  • Files show up in downloads but not in Finder

    Files showing up in downloads but not in Finder  I am running OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro.  I am having a problem with Finder being able to display all the files in folders, if any.  The files show up in downloads for instance but when I go to my downloads in Finder, the folders are empty.

    The screenshot doesn't show the downloads…
    It may also help to know what you are expecting to see in there - for example Application XXYY says I downloaded AABB, but I can't see AABB.
    Certain apps have their own settings for where to store files - more info needed.

  • When I export a playlist and then open in excel, do whatever sorting I want, I then save the file and reimport into itunes but not all the songs are there. It appears to be from "comma's" in the song name. Any solutions?

    I see songs such as "Monday, Monday" or "Paint It, Black" or even the artist name such as "Fireballs, with Jimmy Gilmer" which have comma's in them, being a problem when I try to do the following:
    1. Export a playlist which contains songs which are all there and play fine, but some have comma's in the title such as listed above.
    2. I then open that file in Excel and bring it in as a Tab-delimited file.  Everything lays out fine, and all the songs are thing (including those with comma's).
    3. I then sort the varoius fields I want (which I can't do in i-tunes because i-tunes won't sort it properly), and resave the file as a newly named file, which is also a .txt file.
    4. I then import that playlist into my itunes. It is exactly the same songs that I just had exported but i-tunes says some of the songs can't be found.
    I have traced this problem to comma's in the file name of the song such as listed above.  There must be a solution to this either as the file is opened in excel or in how it's saved or some other solution short of having to rename song/artists without using comma's. 
    Thanks.

    The additional problem is the file name of the song itself.  Even if I were able to delete the commas or replace with a space for example, changing the file name would result in itunes not being able to find the file.  I would have to go through each file (out of about 15,000+ songs) to find any that have titles such as described in this thread and change not only the song and artist in the fields, but changing the mp3 file itself. 
    I fear that I am really pretty much going to have to start with a list of songs that have no comma and then do a file compare to find those songs with commas and then just physically moving them into a new playlist I'm trying to create, but this is a royal pain as I want to be able to create a variety of playlists based on these chart dates/peak positions. 
    I'm trying to sort the songs in this manner:  I use different fields in itunes so that I can put the "peak position" of each song based on Billboard charts, as well as the date the peak position was acheived. I use the "comment box" for that.  I use the "grouping" field for my peak position.
    So I end up with something like "10/14/1980" in the comment box as the peak position for a song which is in the grouping field, and so forth.  If I try to sort the comments column in itunes for example, it won't sort properly. If I sort the Grouping field, it will bring up all the "1's", but that's followed by "10", 11, ...19, then "2", etc.  This is why I want to export the playlist and sort it as I want, and then reimport the playlist into itunes. 
    What I'm ultimately trying to achieve is a year-by-year peak position playlist so that I end up with every #1 song (in this case) from, say, January 1st 1980 and then every #1 song in sequential order for the rest of the year falls in line.  I have chart position dates from 1955 through 1999.  I have entered in all the data from Billboard books I own so I can really create some amazing playlists, but these commas are problematic. Had I known this ahead of time I would have made "Monday, Monday" as "Monday Monday" and not included commas, but it's too late for that.
    Any suggestions?

  • Why can I access files using ubuntu live cd but not my mac?

    Hello,
    Every since I have upgraded to Lion then to Mountain Lion I have had nothing but trouble with my mac crashing and not being able to repair the harddrive. I use time machine with an external hard drive to back up everything (also using online server to back up things as well).
    My issue is that disk utility never works ( ever ) and when I have trouble the hard drive and my external hard drive always show up grayed out and disk utility says the disk is broken and cannot be repaired. Which the disk are fine because I can access them using a ubuntu live cd no problem.
    My main question is how is this not being addressed by apple? This is clearly a bug - there is nothing wrong with my external harddrive or my macs hardrive - yet when I restart my mac I fear it will never start again(in its current state) and the disk utility just doesn't work the only answers I ever get is the hard drive is bad (which is not the case being I can access it with the ubuntu - or even reinstall everything and it works fine etc...)
    There is some major bugs and I can say I never had these problems losing my data with a windows machine (though I am not a big windows fan). Apple why doesn't the disk utility work?
    Also why when I update my mac and the mac restarts itself does it not eject my external hardrive - also why if you don't eject the harddrive it ruins the data on the hard drive or at least makes it grayed out or corrupt in my mac - but I can copy the files in ubuntu and put them back then it works just fine? These are serious issues and I am really shocked that the mac community would stand for this kind of thing - I am not the only one with these issues I see thousands of others with the same issues so when are they going to be fixed?
    If what I am saying is unclear - just google mac hardrive cannot be repaired - and set the time for the last month you will see. Also to those who have these troubles simply use a ubuntu live cd - copy all your files to the home folder then place them back to where the reside and mac will reconize them again - worked every time for me so far no thanks to disk utility.

    Your booting off a Ubuntu disk which has it's own operating system on it and on another medium that is free of issues, unlike your current hard drive running OS X 10.8.
    I really don't advise you directly installing Linux on a Mac as it's much more complicated that it appears. Also I don't advise you using Linux anything to tinker with a Mac unless you really really know what your doing.
    Since your Mac's software is broken you don't know currently and shouldn't be using Linux as a band-aid solution to your problem.
    My suggestion is you FIX your primary boot drive.
    disk utility says the disk is broken and cannot be repaired
    This calls for a complete zero erase and install of the affected area, if it's just the Macintosh HD partition then fine, it's a hold command r boot into Recovery HD and use Disk Utiltiy there to Erase with the middle secure erase feature (important) and then a reinstall of OS X 10.8 from Apple's servers over a fast Ethernet connection.
    If your GUID partition table or Recovery HD is affected, then you need to command option r boot into Internet Recovery and select the entire hard drive for the same zero/middle erase proceedure, unless you have a older MacBook Pro then you need to use option key boot off the 10.6 disks and use the Secure Erase/ Zero on the entire drive, install 10.6, then update to 10.6.8, then AppStore upgrade to 10.8 again.
    You need to only restore user files into same named accounts from a Storage Drive backup, do not use Migration or Setup assistant as your TimeMachine drive data is likely corrupted. This means all new softwre installs from original sources as well.
    Read through my many User Tips, you'll be fixing your own machine in no time.
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro?view=documents#/?p er_page=50
    also why if you don't eject the harddrive it ruins the data on the hard drive or at least makes it grayed out or corrupt in my mac
    Windows and Linux also has to "safely remove hardware" or "unmount" before ejecting a drive as well or it corrupts the data.
    I guess this feature came about so one can disconnect a drive without having to physically remove it and wear out the ports doing so.

  • CR2 files open from one camera, but not the other in CS2

    Running Mac with CS2. My camera raw files shot with my lovely Canon 5D open and can be viewed in bridge and in photoshop, but NOT the camera raw from my brand new Canon powershot G9. They are both producing CR2 files. I can see the images in the bridge browser window, but when I double click to open I get a dialogue box that says, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." I have the 3.7 plug in installed. Please, some god or goddess of photoshop out there, show me the error of my ways!

    Walt,
    I will answer your questions to the best of my ability. But hopefully others who are better at this than I am will offer their help as well. So, here goes.
    1. Everyone has their preferred method of using Bridge. In the Photoshop preferences I have not checked the box to have bridge start automatically. Although I use Bridge most of the time, there are occasions when I don't want to use it. So I prefer to start my Photoshop session by starting Bridge first, and then double-click on an image in Bridge to have it opened in Photoshop. In the Bridge preferences, I have checked the "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge", and I like working that way.
    2. I have seen several people comment about having this problem. And occasionally it will develop after you have been using Bridge/Photoshop for a while. The only thing I can suggest is for you to hold down the Ctrl key while you start Bridge. A dialogue will appear that will allow you to reset your preferences. There are three options and you should choose all three. I know, you haven't had it installed very long, but this "could" be the problem. One guy I talked with said that he had to do it several times before it fixed the problem.
    3. You indicated that you downloaded Camera Raw 4(5). What does that mean? Did you download version 4.5, which is the latest version? And, did you follow the installation instructions that were on the download page? The new plug-in must be put in the exact directory specified, replacing the old version that is already there. The old version cannot be put in a sub folder. You might as well get rid of it. You don't need it anymore. And, again, it has to go into the specific folder designated in the instructions. After you have done that, in Photoshop goto Help/About Plug-ins and click on Camera Raw. It should only be listed once, and when you click on it you should get a dialogue that will tell you what version you have installed.
    4. After I installed CS3, when I inserted a card into my card reader I was presented with the normal Windows options. One of the options I was given was to download using Bridge. I chose that option and indicated to always use that option. I haven't had any problems with it since. But if that option isn't there, you can open Bridge and click on the File menu. There is an option to download images from your camera. It has worked well for me.

  • Jar Files download Slow in IE but not FireFox

    We have an application (PTC Windchill) that uses jar files within the application. These jar files contain our customizations and get downloaded to the users when they require certain functionality within the application. Each time we update our build (update the customizations) new jar files are required to be downloaded to the client. Recently, we have seen an increase in the number of clients that the downloads take an extremely long time. The jar files add up to about 70mb and on a machine that we consider to be working correctly, this takes less than a minute. On some machines, it takes as long as 20 minutes. We are unable to determine what the difference is between computers (both have the same version of JRE, OS, IE and updates etc.). What is interesting, is the files download quickly on FireFox, every time on every machine. We initially thought this was an IE issue, but we can't pin point it. Also, the files transfer fine through the OS so we don't believe it is network or NIC related. This started out as just a few computers but seems to be growing. We have found upgrading to Apache 2.x.x from 1.3.27 fixes the problem, but breaks something else in our application, therefor is not a solution. This would appear to be an IE and Apache compatibility issue, but why it works with some clients and not others, puzzles us. I was hoping someone out there may have some ideas of what the issue is. It is probably something simple, but not simple to find. Any help is much appreaciated.
    Thanks,

    It's probably an IE problem.
    The installed JREs on the client machines have no relationship with downloading via a browser.
    It works fine with firefox because this latter is an open source and frequently upgraded. There are lot of firefox plugins and extensions for downloading tasks: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=download&status=Array
    You can allocate more resources for your server and use a multi-thread donwload servlets but it will not resolve the problems of the client side IE browser.

  • SWF file opens in safari / firefox but not IE

    Hi.
    I was wondering if someone could help me.  I'm working on a flash project that people can download from the internet and use or just use on the internet.  I'm have a problem with one of the links however.  Its a button that is to link to a excel file,  at the minute the following code works in safari and forefox, it opens the file pefect in a separate window, but in IE it opens on the same window.  does anyone no what the problem could be?  The code i'm using is
    on (release) {
    getURL("../docs/OIA.xls", _blank);

    I can't say if this will fix it, but you can try putting quotation marks around "_blank"... it is a String argument so it should be quoted just like the URL is.

  • WMP will play some mp3 and mkv files to my Sony TV but not others

    Hi,
    Windows Media Player will play some mp3 and mkv files to my Sony Bravia TV (KDL70W850B) but not others. I get the error: “Failed to retrieve media information”. Sometimes if I make a copy of the files that don’t play, I am able to play the copied files.
    I normally right click on files and select ‘Play to’ and then pick my TV from the list. The following is an example of some files (as displayed in Windows Explorer) and which do and don’t play:

    I have stopped and restarted the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service and the UPnP Device Host Service; I also linked a Windows Live ID but this did not help. All devices have access to my PC and my TV has the latest software.
    I have Windows 7 and WMP 12 and according to my TV specs, the DLNA supported formats are: MPEG1/ MPEG2PS/ MPEG2TS/ AVCHD/ MP4Part10/ MP4Part2/ AVI(XVID)/ AVI(MotionJpeg)/ MOV/ WMV/ MKV/ WEBM/ 3GPP/ MP3/ WMA/ LPCM/ JPEG/ MPO
    I would appreciate any help you can offer.
    Thank you

    It seems to be an issue with Sony Bravia TV. According to the following article:
    Supported File Formats for DLNA® and USB Compatible Sony® TVs
    Under -Not all files are guaranteed to play.
    Sometimes HandBrake
    does help. I shall suggest you to contact Sony Bravia TV support.

  • Small Flip video AVI files - can preview in Organizer but not Elements

    Hi all,
    I just spent $110 to buy Adobe Premiere Elements 9.  I installed it to my Dell Vostro 1520 Intel Dual Core 2.2 GHz, running Windows 7 Pro.
    I have a few small (5-10 seconds each) Flip video .AVI files (standard definition) to use for learning.
    To learn, I brought the little .AVI files into Adobe Organizer, and can now double-click on each thumbnail and see the video play clearly, no problem, in the Organizer preview window.  All well and good!
    Next I created a new Project in Premier Elements, and used the Add Media button to reference the same little .AVI files.  But when I attempt to preview them in Premier Elements by double-clicking on a thumbnail, I instead see a green/teal-colored rectangle where the video should show in the preview window, although I can hear the audio fine.
    Can anybody help me?  Any thoughts or ideas will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Steve --
    I have Windows Live Movie Maker.  It offers many of the same features as Adobe Premiere Elements 9, but not all of them.  For example Premiere Elements 9 offers Picture-in-Picture, nicer titling features, etc., etc.  That's why I've just shelled out $110 to buy Premiere Elements 9 (whereas Windows Live Movie Maker is totally free if you have Windows 7 Pro).
    Windows Live Movie Maker is a PC-based video editing program, and it does not require and does not use use Apple Quicktime.
    So I don't understand why you say Quicktime is a necessity.
    But I do appreciate your reply and your thoughts.
    I'm still looking for someone who has successfully used Adobe Premiere Elements 9 to edit Flip Ultra (standard definition) .AVI files.
    Thanks.
