Hi there

Since 2-3 weeks I'm having a very annoying problem with XL2007 on XP. It
keeps hanging (the app stops responding) when I select certain cells in
certain documents. I tried switching off all macros, all formulas,
error-control, all add-ins, but to no avail.

I re-installed Office, but it didn't solve anything. I realized today
that it occurs all the time I try to select a cell containing a date
(formatted as date).

Did someone encounter the same problem? Do you have an idea what might
be wrong?

I'm not a Windows expert, I usually use mac, but at work we use WinXP,
so I don't really know where to look for problmes.
The sysadmin is on leave for 3 weeks and not being able to work normally
with XL files is a big problem for me... :-(

Thanks in advance!
 
Hi,

1. Do you have SP1 installed for office?
2. Have you let it sit, meaning somethings take quite a while and maybe we
get impatient?
3. What is the error message that is displayed. If necessary take a break
and see if it will display one.
