After selecting the file from the
Add-Ins box, I get an error that says, "Invalid Page Fault."
How do I fix this?
I am getting an EXCEL.EXE
Print Preview error. Is there a way to fix this?
This error is usually encountered due to a conflict with
certain printer drivers and an OffscreenBuffer. One work around
might be to make the graph smaller so that it will
easily fit on a single page. We have also discovered that
there is a way to turn off that buffer and it resolves this
error in most cases, but you must manually add in a new registry
key and a string value that is = to True. If you are not familiar
with the Windows registry we recommend you consult someone
who is before attempting this. You can do serious damage to
your windows installation by altering things in there without
advanced knowledge of the Windows registry.
