Well, sadly, I have found that Norton 360 causes the problem. After I uninstalled Norton 360, Excel processes purged from memory whenever the application was closed, as they should.
While the reinstallation of the product went smoothly, no error messages at all -- Excel processes just pile up in the task manager as the application is opened and closed. Ultimately, of course, one runs into system problems unless one constantly goes into Task Manager and manually terminates the processes.
I am running Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3, and Microsoft Office XP Professional version 10.0.6626.0 with the latest updates.
Unfortunately, I am going to have to return the product. |
