MS Office Forum / Excel / Excel Errors / June 2008EXCEL.EXE is not a valid win32 application
Sometimes when I try to open excel directly, or by double-clicking an excel file, I get the error message "EXCEL.EXE is not a valid win32 application". The first time it happened, I tried repairing office - and that seemed to work - but the last time, I shut down and restarted the comp and excel started to work again. Excel seems to be the only app that does this. I use it quite a bit, and it's giving me flashbacks to windows 95's multiple reboots per day to keep things working ;) I'm running office pro 2007 sp1 on vista sp1 (oh, and this started to happen after the vista sp1 install) Jim I get the same issue. It has to be something with Vista's shi###Y memory management. I turned off super feth and back on to no avail....I also noticed that if you have OneNote and try to use its screen capture option you only get a blank screen capture. Vista is worse than Windows ME. It is an SP1 issue. > I get the same issue. It has to be something with Vista's shi###Y memory management.

Almost sounding like older versions of Windows now.... And everything was so stable before a few days ago. (Even after SP1, it was fine for weeks, then it broke). We are using Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and it's new - any of you running that as well? Ok - I was able to open Excel by changing the compatibility feature - I believe I found it by clicking on the Excel file and then properties. This solved the problem for me - at least for now. > Rebooting does seem to help, for a few days, then you must reboot again. > Almost sounding like older versions of Windows now....

It seems like the problem is related to memory pressure. It only happens when memory usage rises too high. > Ok - I was able to open Excel by changing the compatibility feature - I > believe I found it by clicking on the Excel file and then properties.
