Dear Bill,
thank you for your reply.
It does not say anything. Windows wiglet comes up informing that it is
looking for a solution and is trying to recuperate. But the problem remains.
I have tried first repair, then uninstall and reinstall of office Home
Student to no avail.

I am using on this laptop a Spanish version of Vista because I bought it in
Madrid the Office Home Student however is a German version.
On the other laptop where I have no problems I am using a German Vista
version Could this be the problem and when how to fix it?

When you say Excel "shuts down", does it say anything before it goes?

First thing to try would be a detect and repair of Excel on that
machine.
