Weird Exel Behavior

[Hayton]

Hi There Guys,

Our IT department has given me a new PC however when I open certain Excel files the timer rins for about 30 seconds opens the file and then closes it. I also get this if I try and change a property.

There are no macros or any embeded code in the files.

They do not know whats going on ether.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I would start by uninstalling any new Office/XP updates you've gotten in the last six months. Also, check this out ...

You could also try opening it in safe mode, see if that works for you.

Try using Windows to copy the files to another location. Is it the file, the location or a combination of both?

Thanks for the advice guys. The problem has been resolved apparently it was something to do with copying my user profile from the old PC to the new PC.
