I am running Windows 2000 workstation. I am on a Windows 2000 server network. I have installed any new software on my PC. I am typing in Excel, currently. Above are the facts. Here is my question. What would cause this error?

The instruction at "0x301faae8" referenced memory at "0x0079f00". The memory could not be "read".

Can anyone help? Thanks!

sounds like a bug. i would put the latest service packs on both windows 2000 and office 2000

if this pc is logging on to the network, goto users and ensure there is a local user on the domain with power user rights.

With office programs closed, goto the run cmd, type:

excel /regserver

If this does not fix it, ensure to update all service packs and anti-virus. not to mention run a spy-bot removal tool.

Good luck

Thanks for the advise. I did the excel /regserver. However, I did not use the spybot removal tool, because I read info about this on their website and it appears that the spybot would interfere with some of my freeware software. Thanks again.
