Please excuse my ignorance however I desperately need some help to figure out why my MS Office Excel 2010 (on Windows 7 Business 32 bit) keeps randomly "Not Responding" whenever I do some of the following : Open a document / insert a row / copy a sheet / etc... It hangs for anything from around 3 mins to 15 mins before fixing itself. Unless I get irritated and just manually close the whole excel using the task manger.
It does not matter whether I am using a file from the server (LAN) or directly from my hard drive (C Drive)..
Before when I had Windows Vista and Office 2003 (same computer) I had a problem whenever I wanted to change the printer option. Excel would hang for around 2 to 3 minutes while it was changing the printer. Didn't matter whether it was from or to a locally connected or a network printer. Now there appears to be no issue with the printer selection but I do have a big problem with the above items. What drives me mad is that it does not happen all the time.
Sometimes it fixes itself when I restart the program or my whole computer. Sometimes it fixes itself when I clean the disk on my C Drive. But even still - sometimes after doing all that nothing changes and it still hangs. Then other days nothing will be a problem at all. I really don't get it! I have 4Gig of RAM - if that makes any difference.
Would really appreciate any and all help / suggestions!! PLEASE PLEASE!!!
Thanks so very much in advance!!
