I downloaded the sheet you created.  I don't see any print preview button other than the one i have in my custom toolbar, but the sheet crashes when I use that one or the one under the print option.

If Excel is crashing on multiple computers, it must be something that MicroSoft has done.  I will try the repair install when I get a chance, but there have got to be a slew of folks around the world with the same issue.
