I am running Excel 97 on Windows ME. Recently, every time I try to format a
cell I get the error message:

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

I have completely re-installed Office 97 and no change.

Thanks ahead of time
 
Just a thought, but one possible problem is a corruption of your
toolbar customisation file. Locate all files with extension .xlb and rename
the extension(s) to something like .old

Now try and start XL again.

Note though that you will lose any toolbar customisations

No Luck, but thanks for the help. Probably need to upgrade anyway, it's
about that time.
