Excel keeps quitting on me and giving the the error report seen below. It usually happens right when I open Excel and haven't had a chance to do anything, or within a few seconds of typing in a cell. Any suggestions? Thanks!

The gibberish means nothing to me. What version of Excel, what OS are you running? Have you kept Excel up to date with all Microsoft updates? If not, use Microsoft AutoUpdate to download the latest patch for your version.
