This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you start Microsoft Project and either the Decimal symbol or the Digit grouping symbol setting is blank. These settings are found under the Regional Settings icon in Control Panel.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, change the Decimal symbol to a period (.) and the Digit grouping symbol to a comma (,). To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- Double-click the Regional Settings icon.
- Click the Number tab.
- In the Decimal symbol list, click the period (.).
- In the Digit grouping symbol list, click the comma (,).
NOTE: You can use most any character other than blank (null) for the Decimal symbol or the Digit grouping symbol settings. - Click OK.
- Restart your computer.
