I am using Office 97 SR2, on a Win98 pc.

When I try to create a chart using either the Chart
Wizard button on the toolbar, or going to Insert, Chart,
I get this error msg:

This program has created an illegal operation and will be
shut down.
Details:
EXCEL caused an invalid page fault in module MS097.dll at
018f:3070ac08

This is what I've done:
Removed Office 97 SR2, and also removed Excel Viewer,Word
Viewer,Powerpoint Viewer. (I guess someone had installed
these because they didn't have Office.)

Then I reinstalled Office97 SR2. Didn't reinstall the
viewers.

The chart wizard will work for a short while, but I
noticed on one occasion after I created a chart and saved
it, when I closed Excel and opened it again, I got the
error back. So I uninstalled/reinstalled again. Chart
wizard worked again for a while, until god knows what
messed up. I'm pretty sure some files are corrupt
somewhere.

Ideas?
 
How about it Microsoft? I can't be the only person with
this problem.

Now it seems that after I reboot I can use the chart
wizard, but once I save the file, then try to use chart
wizard again, in the same file, and new file, whatever, I
get the error again.

I have also copied ms097.dll from the Office97 install cd
and replaced the file on the pc. That didn't help.

Reinstalling the OS is not an option at this point.
