Excel keeps locking up (on windows within Fusion)

Running High Sierra and Windows 7 on Fusion 8.  Even after several attempts at wiping my macbook entirely and reinstalling these OS's and programs-  my excel locks up in the middle of changing cell contents.  The whole program freezes and will not recover.  I have even tried Office 2016 and Office 2013.  A few months ago everything worked great without any changes during that time.

I don;t know if this is a Fusion problem, windows or Office.   HELP!!!!!

Hi,

You probably already know that running Fusion 8 on High Sierra is not supported.

This might -or might not- be the cause of your troubles, hard to say.

The one thing I would try in your case is to make sure that hardware acceleration is disabled.

Menu File -> Options -> Advanced ->

A question, when the program freezes, does the rest of the VM still work or is everything frozen?
