SYMPTOMS
A procedure is written in Excel Visual Basic to set
PageSetup properties of
a
Worksheet object. If this code is run hundreds of times, the system
becomes unstable, and there is not enough memory to start other
applications. In Excel, you may receive the following error messages:
An error has occurred in your program. To keep working anyway, click
Ignore and save your work in a new file. To quit this program, click
Close. You will lose information you entered since your last save.
Excel caused a General Protection Fault in module GDI.EXE.
CAUSE
This problem is caused by a memory leak when using the PageSetup object
when a printer is installed on the system.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
