I recently purchased Excel 4.0 and am running it on a IIsi 5/80 under
System 7.0 with Tuneup 1.1.1.  I have trouble launching excel about
50% of the time (after fresh reboots).  I will either get the
registration box followed by the toolbars and instead of the disk
whirring for a while followed by a blank worksheet the machine either
hangs or excel exits with a "The application 'unknown' has
unexpectedly quit because of an error of type 1 occurred" message.

Thinking that it might be some sort of control panel/extension
interaction problem I tried running excel with all extensions off and
it seems to work fine.  However with these minimal set of extensions
it fails:

	System 7 TuneUp 1.1.1
	Microsoft Word TrueType Printer INIT (equivalent to Microsoft
				Word 4.00G, I think)
	StyleWriter
	Disinfectant 2.9
	MacTCP 1.1
	MacSLIP 1.0

it fails.  Microsoft support was less than helpful ("we don't
guarantee that it will work with anything other than the base OS so if
it works with all extensions off we don't want to hear about it") and
had no suggestions or lists of known incompatibilities.  I'm going to
spend yet more time trying to isolate the particular extension (hoping
it is just one rather than some combination), but I really do need all
of the above (I think).

Has anyone else experienced similar startup problems?  Any
suggestions?
