Windows Programs Closing Unexpectedly

You'd think in this day and age of Windows 7, Windows 8, and now with the coming Windows 10 (The Reason Why Microsoft Skipped Windows 9 is actually mildly interesting), we wouldn't be having programs crashing constantly, with very little information about why.  Especially programs built by the same company that makes the operating system!

But no, here it is!  My Windows 7 workstation trying to open an Excel 2010 .xlsx file:

This happened twice to me today for two different Excel files.  I also have a similar problem with another program that I actually really like called Remote Desktop Manager (RDM).  It just magically crashes on occasion.  I am slightly more tolerant to this type of issue with a third party vendor.  I've completely uninstalled / re-installed it to no avail.

I guess the good news is that only the program is crashing and not the whole O/S.  It's a rarity to see one of these and I do not miss them:

Anyway, that's my latest frustration with Windows.  Happy computing!
