"Not Responding" isn't really an accurate description. What that
actually means is, the program hasn't come back to the are of
memory I'm watching in the last, usually, 20 seconds (it's
adjustable). The reason I say that:
What happens if you wait, say, five minutes? You might get an
error message that will explain what's gone wrong. Worth a try.
Don't bother with more than about ten minutes - it's pretty
surely locked if nothing's hapened in about 5 minutes or a c/c
break.
Are you getting any macro virus warnings? Unless you turned them
off, that would be indicative. Another possibility is malware or
spyware - have you tried anything like adaware or spybot? You do
have up to date antivirus protection, right?
FWIW,
Pop
