I am using Windows 10, and Excel 2013, and unsure, if my laptop might have crashed/rebooted or what, but just recentlyI can't execute a macro, create a new macro, access personal.xlsb, execute an XLSM any longer - when I attempt to do this, Excel just hangs and I have to shut it down... I reloaded Office 2013, but, it didn't seem to resolve the issue. I also went into Add Ins/Manage Disabled Items, but nothing associated is on the list to enable.. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks, Monte

Hi Monte,
What do you mean by "reloaded Office 2013"?
You should try a clean reinstall, you have to completely remove the existing office installation. You can find here a tool that can help you (Option 2): Uninstall-Office-2016-Office-2013-or-Office-365-from-a-PC

What I meant, as that I went into Control Panel, and selected to do the Repair, which it did (and didn't work).. I will look at the link you sent me. Thanks, Monte

Did you used the Cleanup Tool downloaded from the link?

Well, I did mentioned Option 2 should be applied.

Here is what that step says, with big red letters:

Option 2 - Completely uninstall Office with the easy fix tool

  1. Click this easy fix button to uninstall Office.
    Easy fix download button indicating an automated fix is available

(You can click this button to download, it will start the tool download)

Follow the other steps described in the link:

 

  • Launch The Uninstall Microsoft Office wizard. Select Next and follow the prompts.

  • When you see the Uninstallation successful screen, follow the prompt to restart your computer for the changes to take effect. Select Next.

  • After restarting your computer, you can try installing Office again.

It worked! I truly appreciate it! Thank You - Thank You!

One other question.. I'm thinking about getting a copy of Excel 2016, can I install it on the same machine, I already fave 2013 on?
