Hello,

  Ok when you update your computer, it is suppose to make things better right???? Well I updated my windows 10 to the latest release (version 1803), besides totally screwing up my video card(Which I corrected) now whenever I run excel and try to do a formula, excel freezes and then tries to recover. Then the program closes and then offers a recovery version of the file, which I use and still the same. 

What gives and how to correct..and don't tell me to update to latest office...BS

It worked yesterday and now it does not.

Any help would be great otherwise this thing is going out the window...my 2nd floor window.

Thank.

Christopher

    Excel 2002 is not even officially supported on Windows 10. I suggest if Excel is important to you, you should rollback to your previous release and stick with that. Windows 10 is heading in a path where Office 365 is the primary supported office suite .

    Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Recovery > under Go back to my previous version of Windows 10, click Get started.

    or

    Press Control + Alt + Delete

    Click Sign out

    At the Sign In screen, hold down the shift key on your keyboard while clicking the Power button on the screen

    Continue to hold down the shift key while clicking Restart

    Continue to hold down the shift key until the Advanced Recovery Options menu appears

    Click Troubleshoot

    Click Advanced options

    Click Go back to the previous version of Windows

    Windows Update might attempt to upgrade to Windows 10 1803 again. See instructions how to block it:

    It worked on some earlier versions, so did many other third party apps, but it wasn't officially supported.

    There are some compatibility issues with Windows 10 version 1709/1803 and certain hardware or software. There is no explanation why a lot of these problems are happening in Windows 10 1709/1803, but the release is significantly flawed. Software and Hardware that once worked in previous versions, just suddenly stops working in Windows 10 1709/1803 after an upgrade and sometimes loses functionality or stability.

    If Excel 2002 is important to you, you don't need to upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10.

    Just as not upgrading to latest version of Office or Excel is not important to you, the same rules can apply to the operating system in your case.

    Excel 2002 originally targeted Windows XP and Windows 2000. In fact, it came out seven months before XP's release in 2001.
