I've been having an intermitant problem with Excel 4.0. When I try to start
the application with the icon, with an alias, or by double clicking an
application the program doesn't start and I get a "605" error. At first, I
was able to recover by restarting my computer and opening the Excel
Settings file. Recently that hasn't been working. The computer just crashes
when I try to restart and then open Excel 4.0 again (it hangs on the
copyright information box.) The problem is intermitant and unpredictable
(as far as I know), but recently it's been more frequent.

I've re-installed XL 4.0 from the original disks and the problem seems to
be gone (for 1/2 a day), but I didn't have it at first when I originally
installed Xl, so I've been wondering if anyone else has had the problem, if
it's a bug in XL, or if I should be checking for init incompatibilities (I
run a lot of them).

Thanks for your help.
