Excel 2007: Intermittent 0xc0000005 crashes

microsoft-excel windows-7 microsoft-excel-2007 crash

Had the same issue, tried all the fixes from the web:

  1. Disable/Remove add-ins
  2. Remove ABBYY FineReader
  3. Disable hardware acceleration
  4. Check the file permissions on Ubuntu Samba Server

None of those worked.

And finally, the epiphany: I turned off the preview pane in Windows Explorer and everything works fine. Verified same behavior occurs on another computer on the network.
