Howdy, My apologies if this bug was reported before... Apparently, Excel 4.0 does not like it when the Balloon Help menu has been hidden. I have repeatedly hit a bus error while working with charts in Excel. The other features seem to work fine, but while in a charting window, numerous actions trigger a crash (especially, while dialogs and windows are activating or deactivating). These errors appear to be independent of which control panel or extension hid the BH menu. I have repeated the crash with SpeedyFinder7 about 57 times this afternoon. When I originally got the upgrade, I experienced similar crashes. They mysteriously went away after I stopped using an extension (No Help Menu, I think -- the icon was a cracked help balloon) and have surfaced again today as I was working with Excel. Running SpeedyFinder7 with BH menu showing has not had any detrimental effects on Excel, yet. These crashes have been confirmed on an fx and a ci. Both running 7.0.1 with tuner 1.1.1. Addressing mode does not seem to matter. Question is, why the &*&*(^&*^* does Excel rely on the BH menu being visible? Cheers, Igor
