Excel Crash when save one file

A

Andre Croteau

Hi again,

While trying to save an Excel file that I have been working on today, I
sense that there is difficulty in saving the file to my C drive . The
saving "progress bar" slows around the third of the way almost to a stop,
then something kicks in, and the file is saved (not a big file). I can save
the file 5 times in a row, and it still slows up at the same area. Soon
after, I try copying a formula to other cells, then when I try to save ,
Excel crashes.

I tried copying the file on a "keyring", but had similar results

I wonder if the problem stems from a corrupt area on my disk, an illegal
formula (?) in my file, a virus, or something else?
Is there a checklist that one can examine to understand why this problem
occurs?

How can I overcome this problem? very frustrating!

First Reboot
NExt Clean your temp Directories c:\windows\temp and c:\documents &
settings\<your user name>\temp

(Delete all files and subfolders)

Next Clean your Temp internet files Control Panel Internet Options Tools
Delete Files, Check to include offline content Okay

(May take a while if you dont do this regularly)

Run uptodate AV

Open file
Copy sheets to new file. save new file as different name.
Try saving old file -- does it still hang?
