I just installed Google Desktop yesterday.
I've seen lots of posts that complain about that program messing up Excel.
One of the suggested fixes is to do a registry tweak.
But you could try turning the google desktop back on, but turn off the COM addin
in excel (and Word and PPT??).
In excel,
Tools|customize|Commands tab|Tools Category
Scroll down the commands listbox and
Drag "COM Add-ins..." to under Tools|Addins
(It seems to make sense there.)
Then close up that dialog.
Back to Tools|COM Add-ins...
Turn off the google desktop search addin.
Maybe you can still use the desktop addin then.

PS. I read a few posts about google desktop causing trouble--but that was with
the beta version of the program. I guess Google just released it into
"production" recently.
Maybe the new version doesn't have this trouble. (Maybe a download of the most
current version would be in order for testing.)

Hi Dave -
The little sample script suffered from the same problem???
Yes. That simple script was enough to keep Excel from terminating.
Looks like we found the problem. It appears that Google Desktop Search
Office AddIn somehow is getting a reference to the Excel object created by
the script, and never releases this reference. I uninstalled Google Desktop
Search and the problem is gone.
Thanks,
Peter
