Microsoft Excel Stops working (Macro)

I have this extensive and huge model that has run multiple times without issues (macro runs). Every so often it crashes stating
"Microsoft excel has stopped working, windows can check online for a solution and recover your information".

The last time I experienced this, a solution was to start a new xls and copy old code over. This is NOT an option in this case as this model has a really long code and 100s of labelled cells it relates to. I NEED A SILVER BULLET!!!! Fortunately my research took me to this:

"his is probably caused by a bug in the December updates from Microsoft. If you close all of Office and delete all from your user Temp folder that is not in use, the problem should go away.
The user temp folder can be easily accessed by entering


%appdata%\..\Local\Temp


in the Windows Explorer address bar.


Windows will replace anything it needs in the temp folder next time it is run."

My question is HOW DO I KNOW WHICH FILES IN THIS FOLDER ARE USEFUL??? .... Anybody? Even if its a totally different silver bullet...I am all ears. This is very urgent. Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Back into an answer in Excel
Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
I occasionally will get this crash too. Its still a mystery but something is there Excel dont like.
Have you compiled the code? (in vbe (alt-F11), menu,debug, compile project) Clear of errors?

Are you on a 64 bit operating system ?
what version is Excel , is it 64bit or 32? (excel menu, FILE, account, about button)
Some mixed versions 64bit OS and 32bit Excel can be buggy.

Have you tried running the code on another PC? Ive seen it fail on 1 pc ,but work on another.

Hi, I have a 32 bit Excel 2013.

I have not tried compiling the project... I was under the assumption all codes are compiled before runs are executed anyway?
How do you "Clear of errors?"
