EXCEL.EXE - Application Error

Eloise T

Active Member
If this is the wrong forum, I apologize in advance.

I am using Excel 2016 with Windows 7 Professional.

I tried to open EXCEL.exe today and then tried WINWORD.exe and got the following even though I didn't initiate any updating:

64605

...after watching 5 dots move across the orange "window" for about a minute, I got:

64604

I went to Google and searched on: EXCEL.EXE (0xc0000142) Application Error

but was not enlightened...i.e. their remedies didn't work.

Apparently this error is going around like a mild case of the flu but with no resolution.

Any Chandoo family remedies? :rolleyes:
 
I looked up the error on Google and tried:

1. admin mode of cmd, then sfc /scannow, then rebooting, then trying to restart Excel.

2. regedit, changing value at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
Windows NT
Current Version
Windows
LoadAppInit_DLLs
from 0 to 1

3. downloading a "fixer" app that ended up wanting $79 that I removed once I figured out it was worthless
4. ...and a few others.
