Method 2: Move Your Mouse Pointer

If you move your mouse pointer continuously while the data is being returned to Microsoft Excel, the query may not fail. Do not stop moving the mouse until all the data has been returned to Microsoft Excel.

At least, this KB article correctly puts the workarounds under the "Workaround" heading. However in the KB article linked to by this post, a workaround is put under the "Resolution" heading.
