I was just asked to help a lady in the office, that I helped copy a
excel file from one computer to her computer. I was able to open the
file and as soon as I tried to click on the tabs (sheets) on the bottom,
the mouse pointer had a little page attached to it, and everything was
frozen. I hope one of you wonderful experts out here can help me with
this problem. BTW, when I tried to x out of the file, I got a whatever
the European sign is for not enter, I know I'm not good as describing
the problem, maybe one of you is a mindreader as well.Many many thanks
in advance.........Peter

When you click and hold the mouse button down, you get that same symbol.

Any chance that the mouse button is sticking?

Interesting enough, we decided to shut down the machine, waited several
minutes and tried it again, for about the 4th time and it didn't happen
again.....I do appreciate you a lot for the suggestion, and your help. I
had doubts that anybody would answer, you made my day..............Peter
