Microsoft Excel and Word keeps showing an error message and shutting down

Please help!
Microsoft Office - Home and Student 2013 on a Windows 8 laptop (Acer Aspire V5)
I keep trying to open Microsoft Excel and if I try and open an existing document or create a new one I get a message "Microsoft Excel has detected a problem". After a moment I then get the message "Microsoft Excel has stopped working - A problem
has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I have tried the usual, shut down and start again, uninstalled and installed office again, been on the control panel in programs
and clicked on changes. its been through the Microsoft update 4 times now and it still isn't working.
Any ideas please.

Hi
Did the issue still occur when you close your antivirus software?
Try opening word or excel in safe mode.
Click Win+R, type winword /safe or
excel /safe.
Go to file>options>add-ins and select
COM add-ins, uncheck the add-ins.  
If it doesn’t work, we recommend you check the issue in clean-boot,
For detailed information about clean-boot, refer to the following link:

  • My iPhone keeps showing an error message and the external speaker wont work

    Ok I have had my iPhone 3GS about 3 months now and recently it has started showing an error message "This accessory is not optimized for this iPhone, you may experience noise caused by mobile interference and a decrease in mobile strength". The external speaker will not work either, the only sound it will produce is the ringtone. Any other sound, message tone, sounds from apps, songs on my ipod, sounds from videos, will not be produced! Although when i plug the head phones in the sound will work for everything and then this error message will come up again and the sound will stop working. It's like the phone thinks it is plugged into a docking system or something. Also the phone will lose signal for long periods of time and sometimes not come back unless i restore the phone. I have tried EVERYTHING and nothing has worked, can anyone help me please?

    Or you can try what lots of other people have found, and thats that the base connector is dirty and the contacts are shorted by some debris.
    The Apple store guys are good at cleaning them out - if you do it yourself, do not use any liquids at all.

  • Windows installed an update and now Lightroom 5 keeps showing an error message and then closes.

    Windows updated and now  when I try to open Lightroom it gives me a message that says "Lightroom encountered an error when reading it's preview cache and will try again when restarted"  Restarting it does no good at all.

    The problem you are experiencing is not related to a Windows update. The preview cache has become corrupted. You need to use Windows Explorer or Finder to open the folder that contains your catalog. Locate the folder that has the extension .lrdata and delete that entire folder. Then start Lightroom as you normally do. Lightroom will be in building a new preview folder and you should be able to continue normally.
    I don't know the reason, but quite a few people have experienced this same issue. Take a look at the "more like this" list to the right of this message. It is more common than you might expect.

    it seems my subscription had expired so I signed up again.. It was still having trouble so I repeated the sign up process again.. Then it worked perfectly.. Unfortunately, I think I just subscribed twice and need to cancel one of them. Ugh. Such a pain when I'm trying to get this project completed. I'll be canceling at least one of the subscriptions in the morning. Adobe is not my favorite company right now. None of this was intuitive. And trying to get help was an absolute waste of an hour.

  • I'm trying to install itunes on my new computer and I keep getting the error message about Windows Installer. It does not show up under "Programs".

    I'm trying to install itunes on my new computer and I keep getting the error message about Windows Installer. I've seen the other posts regarding this issue, however, I am unable to even get it to load for it to show up under "Programs".

    Repair your Apple software update.
    Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
    If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:

  • NFC works sometimes and keeps showing read error messages

    I have just bought a brand new Sony Xperia Z3 Dual (D6633), but I am having a little boring problem. When I pair my smartband or any other equipment trough NFC it just works after some attempts and keeps showing read error messages every time. It seems to me that is a software issue as it works sometimes. How should I proceed?

    Unfortunattely it didn't work, as our credit cards in Brasil don't have NFC technology.
    I will try to reset my phone to factory defaults as soon as Lollipop is launched so I reinstall my apps just one time.
    If I fix with the firmware update I´ll let you know. If this issue persist I will take to Sony Support Service in my city.
    Thanks a lot for your concern.

  • I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes to my PC (windows XP) and I keep getting an error message or two. One is that it can't uninstall the previous itunes version, the other is that it can't find itunes.msi.

    I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes to my PC (windows XP) and I keep getting an error message or two. One is that it can't uninstall the previous itunes version, the other is that it can't find itunes.msi. I have tried removing  the old version in add/remove programs, but it says the same error. I tried deleting every thing that has itunes in the file/folder/etc and it didn't help.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1386 I am trying to sinc my iPhone with my iTunes to get my music on my phone and i keep getting an error message 42001 pop up when i attempt to sync what is this error message and what do i do to fix this problem??

    I am attempting to sync my phone with iTunes and I keep getting an error message 42001 so my phone can not sync with iTunes... What is this error message and what can I do to fix this problem and sync my phone to iTunes?

    Dear Apple team,
    I recently bought an iphone3GS from USA and jail broke it. Since I heard the there are lots of disadvantages I thought to unlock it officially through the original owner (in copy). He assisted me and confirmed that he unlocked it with AT& T (See the attachment). According to the instructions I restored the phone. But it is not activating with “Activation server is currently not available, please try again or try with iTunes”
    When I try with iTunes , it says “you haven’t inserted a SIM” even though I insert the original AT&T SIM.
    My current location is Sri Lanka ,so don’t have any apple support.
    Please help me to be a good fan of apple.

    Hi Terry, A post is the message that anyone has just typed in. When you replied to me, that was your post. I am replying to you so this is my post. Think of it as sending an email or mailing a letter at the "post" office.
    Now right at the top of the last post (message) you sent me is a Post#, then the date and time and under that the thread subject "Re: I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player 10 and I keep getting......
    The first time that you posted, you described your problem. The next post after that is #1 and so on.
    The Adobe Flash Player forum works very much like email except there are a lot of "threads". A thread is what each message you see is called. Everyone that registers can start their own thread (subject). Then other people see it and can post to your thread and try to help you with your problem.
    You did pretty good, you registered, and you started your first thread
    Now do you feel somewhat more relaxed?  Hope so.
    Take a look now and see if you can find the Post# and etc that I described above.
    Thanks,

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?
