MS Office Forum / Excel / Setup / March 2007excel 2007 stops responding
Hello, I use EXCEL 2007 (UK) on Vista Home Premium (HP portable); when I open an EXCEL-sheet created with EXCEL 2003 (at the office), everything works allright (EXCEL opens in Compatibility mode - read only). However when I try to save the file (SAVE AS...) EXCEL hangs (does not respond any more; the screen gets" frozen"). Same behavior when I try to save a newly created 2007 EXCEL file as an 2003 EXCEL file. So : no problems only when I use newly created 2007-EXCELfiles. Somebody has an idea ? (I allready did a repair of office 2007) Thanks Marc The file should not be read only in compatibility mode. It will be if it is on CD but you should save this to your hard drive before opening. Do you have Norton Anti-virus or something? Some virus scanners stop Excel opening quickly and 'Not responding' appear very quickly on the title bar. I use ESET Nod 32 on Vista and have used AVG Free edition...both fine with Office  SignatureHTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England nick_hodgeTAKETHISOUT@zen.co.ukANDTHIS www.nickhodge.co.uk > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Thanks you 're right about read only in compatibilty mode (my mistake); but I don't see the relationship between excel and a virus-scanner.

This is *often* an issue with slow operation SignatureHTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England nick_hodgeTAKETHISOUT@zen.co.ukANDTHIS www.nickhodge.co.uk > you 're right about read only in compatibilty mode (my mistake); but I > don't [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >>> >>> Thanks |
