Excel Hangs when saving a file

Hi
When saving a file (CTRL+S) excel hangs, no error or anything.
This happens on Windows 8 PRO, on Win7 no problem at all.
Tried on EXCEL 2010 and EXCEL 2013 Customer Preview.
Checking the file after the app crash shows no file exists however 2 files exist instead:
*.TMP file
*.[NOTHING] file
The *.TMP is the new file i just saved, if I change it to *.XLSX it works fine, no curroption.
This was done saving on DESKTOP.
Since file was saved I assumed there is some kind of permission error so I changed the directory permission for "C:\Users\MYUSER\DESKTOP" to "EVERYONE".
With this setup excel saves without a problem....
I guess EXCEL tries to save under  a different user which has no permission but why no error?
Any ideas?

Hi,
Check to see whether the user you logged on to the system has the permission to the file.
Also, check to see whether the following link is helpful:

And, based on my research, hang when saving the file also maybe caused by a printer installation.

  • Illustrator hangs when saving .ai files with linked or embedded images

    Hi,
    Currently I have a huge problem with Adobe Illustrator. When I place an image file inside an Illustrator document, the program freezes for about 45 seconds when saving. In the beginning I though it was just because my image file was too big, but that wasn't the case.
    To test what's going on I created a new document, drew a few lines and saved. No problem, Illustrator saved immediately. Then I placed a bigger image and suddenly Illustrator hang when saving. I repeated this with a very small GIF of just a few kB and again, Illustrator hang for nearly a minute when saving the image. I tried embedding the image instead of linking it, but I still got the same results.
    Then I turned of the visibility of the image object by clicking on the little eye symbol in front of the image object and suddenly Illustrator was able to save quickly again. The next thing I wanted to try was turning off compression and PDF compatibility, but then I noticed that Illustrator is actually hanging BEFORE writing the file to disk. When I hit "Save as" Illustrator asked me where to save the new file and then after clicking "Save" it hang (showing "(Not Responding)" in the title bar). About 45 seconds later the save options dialog came up and when I clicked "OK" it saved the file immediately.
    Does anybody know what the problem might be? I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Windows 7 x64. The computer is a notebook with 8GB RAM and a switchable graphics card. I tried this on both the integrated Intel graphics unit and on the much more powerful AMD chip. The hard driver I'm saving to is the local hard drive (no network drive etc.).
    This is a more or less fresh installation (I haven't used Illustrator before on this notebook) and I can't remember that I had the same problem on my workstation where I used it inside a virtual machine (which doesn't exist anymore).

    Yeah, I know that changing the mode results in different colors. I just switched back and forth to check out what's going on.
    For CMYK I'm using ECI profiles which are common in Europe and for RGB the normal Adobe RGB 1998 profile. The profiles are synced between all Creative Suite products. I tried sRGB and some of the default profiles which shipped with CS5 but it produces the same result. I also deleted my whole Illustrator profile but without success.
    My graphics card doesn't have any updates. But it would be very unlikely anyway that both drivers for both cards had the same issue. If it has something to do with my graphics cards it's more likely the switchable graphics in general.

  • Office 2013 hangs when saving files to local profile locations on Windows 2012 server

    We installed Office 2013 a few weeks ago instead of Office 2003 on a Windows 2012 standard terminal server. We installed the last updates and Office is up-to-date now, but we experience problems with saving word, excel and powerpoint documents when we start
    a new/clean document. It's not possible to save our documents to the local profile (desktop, documents etc.), but it's no problem to save our stuff to a network share on a different server. 
    Word is not responding after pressing save or save as and after a few seconds we see the 'microsoft is looking for a solution and will restart microsoft word'. 
    We did a complete reinstall of Office 2013 and removed the old installation with the removal tool from the microsoft website, without luck. We have the same saving issues with Office 2010, so it's not an Office 2013 issue. 
    We were looking in the access/rights on the terminal server, because we thought that it was an access/rights issue. But unfortunately we have the same problem with an domain admin user. 
    I tried to disable DEP and my AVG 2012 antivirus, but this steps are also not the issue.
    I'm looking for a solution and i'm working on this case for a few days now. It gives me a headache when i'm thinking about a clean installation of this server. So please contact me when you have a solution or a tip to solve this problems! 
    Thanks!

  • Microsoft Word and Excel Hang When Pasting From Apple Applications

    I have had a problem ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Word and Excel hang when pasting from Apple applications like Safari and Pages. Pasting to OpenOffice does not show the problem. Pasting from Firefox does not show the problem. I have resolved font duplicates, got rid of input managers, reinstalled Office removing plist files and normal templates but the problem persists. Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit. Besides, sticking to open source software , I am at a loss for what to try next besides reinstalling Mac OS X 10.6 (I am on 10.6.2 now). Any help appreciated. I have crash dumps and snapshots of the hung process if anyone can read them. Word is using close to 100% of the CPU when hung.

    Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit.
    If their software is freezing up, it's certainly nobody else's fault. If those Apple apps are for some reason creating bad clipboard data, Microsoft's apps should be able to gracefully recover and report the problem. Error handling is probably one of the most important, and most difficult, aspects of programming, but you can't blame poor error handling on anyone but the developer. I suspect that, rather than bad clipboard data, it's more likely to be a case of Microsoft's apps simply not understanding something about perfectly valid clipboard data, because they haven't properly followed Apple developer guidelines.
    Of course, that's not a solution. I can't really provide you a solution, other than to ask what version of Office you're using. If you're using too old a version of Word, you should update. You should also let us know what kinds of stuff you're copying. More info always helps to get better answers.

    The niFPui.mxx plug-in caused an exception in the CmxAggregateItemUI::InvokeCommand function in the NIMax process. When saving *.iak file in MAX4.6
    Hi There,
    The subject header just about says it all. This is the first action I took with MAX - it is a fresh install. The file I wanted to save was still written and the FP seems to be working ok. However, I need to know what happened.
    I can't post the whole log file due to the amount of characters allowed on this post. I can cut and paste sections if there is a specific part of the file you need. Below is the first section and last section.

    Hi,
    I did a research on your error message and it seems this problem was introduced with MAX 4.6. This version switched to a new error reporting mechanism and reports even errors that are which are not critical to your task.
    These errors typically show up as "unexpected" and if your error falls into this category have a look to this KB for further assistance.
    If it doesn't fall into this category, your could try to go back to the MAX 4.5 or 4.4.. Of course you would need to reinstall some components and might not be able to use newer drivers at all.
    Let me know.

  • When saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?

    when saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?. i would like to know what changes, so in the future i can set my camera to a setting that will give me the highest quality to begin with,allowing me to make crops and still preserve the quality.
    thank you
    dovid

    It's the level of compression. Lower number, more aggressive compression, more visual artifacts.
    Aside from that you should never use jpeg as a working format. The compression is destructive and cumulative, and the file deteriorates every time you resave it.
    Use TIFF or PSD, and if you need jpeg save out a copy as a single final step.

  • FrameMaker crashes when saving a file as XML

    Hello -
    I am encountering a problem saving a .fm file as a .xml file. I have saved many .fm files as .xml files in the past with no issues. However, lately FM crashes with a "serious error" on certain files when I try the same save process. My initial thought was that the file was somehow corrupted, but this morning I ran into this scenario: I have 3 FM licenses in my office, I was trying to save a .fm file as .xml and FM kept crashing. So I had another co-worker try to save the exact same file as a .xml file and it WORKED!?!?!?!
    We all were using FM 11, but I have since installed FM 12 thinking that version 12 wouldnt have the same problem, but the same issue is happening with both versions of FM. I read that FM has issues when working across a network so I have tried it both ways, across the network and locally and the same issue occurs.
    Again, this problem occurs occasionally on various files - not every file, but as previously mentioned I was able to successfully save a file on a different machine that I could not save on my machine. I have the most recent log file that was generated after a crash:
    [*** LOG FILE REMOVED BY MODERATOR***]
    Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.
    Gavin

    An update -
    So FM now appears to crash "sometimes" when saving as an xml file AND when saving the file in general. I have 3 machine with FramMaker installed, first with version 11 now with version 12. These 3 machines are all identical as far as SW running on them, etc... I have been unable to detect a pattern as to when FM will crash thus far. Sometimes it will crash when I try to save the file as an .xml file and sometimes it will save just fine. I have resorted to marking up the document a little at a time, saving the file, then trying to save as an XML file. It will work sometimes and other times it will crash. Sometimes it crashes when trying to save the .fm file other times it works; sometimes it will crash when I try to save the .fm file as a .xml file, other times it will work. About the only thing in common that I have found thus far is the fact that it happens with the same file over and over again; meaning that if I have a pool of 12 files that I need to load into FM and markup, 11 of the 12 files may work just fine and the 12 file will not - it will crash FM at some point in the markup/saving process every time. One might guess that the original file is somehow corrupt and that may be, but at this point I am not sure how I prove that is the case as FM seems to load it in just fine and I can save it right off the bat just fine. Does anyone know how I can prove that the structured file i receive initially is corrupt when it loads into FM fine? If we were causing some issue with the import of our modified EDD then why dont we have the same issue with the other 11 files in the batch as they all are using the same EDD?
    I have sent my most recent log files to adobe tech support this morning. I have tried saving files on shared drives as well as on local drives. I have tried the same process on the other workstations with the same results.
    Does anyone have ideas on how I can isolate a problem with the source file (structured doc) or on why FM is crashing when I perform these actions?
    Thanks,
    Gavin (Ryan)

  • Adobe bridge crashes when saving illustrator files

    Hi there,
    We are developing custom connector using Adobe Drive SDK for our DAM system, the integration with CS was working fine, we recently updated Adobe Drive to 4.2, and we are encountering bridge crashes when saving illustrator file. It didn't happen with older version(4.0.2) of Adobe Drive, not sure why. I pin point the part that causing the issue: in our custom connector, we have READ_XMP_METADATA capability which we need to display the thumbnails and previews, and in the ftp sample connector, this capablity is not included originally, so the issue does not happen, but if I add this capabilty, the crash issue happens as well. If we exclude this capablity from our connector, this crash issue doesn't happen.
    We noticed this only happens when saving illustrator file, not photoshop or indesign, and it seems that only in illustrator, when save, and the bridge has the current file folder showing, we are seeing there are twice folder refreshes, and usually it will crash after the second time. In photoshop and indesign, we don't see folder refreshes. If switch to other folder, the crash won't happen. We tested on both windows and Mac, on Mac, this seems happen less often. Another thing we noticed is in debug mode, or we have many debug logging turned on, the crash happens less often, if it is deployed with no debug logging, the crash happens almost everytime. So we are guessing it might be some synchronization problem. 
    Could you please advice what's the cause of this issue?
    Thanks,
    Katherine

    Has it ever worked?
    What kind of files are they and where do you save them?
    Is a printer connected, set up and turned ON?
    Have you already tried resetting the preferences?
    Generally it's not a good idea to just save old files, because then some artwork may be automatically flattened. Illustrator will save the file to the old version file-format and if you used new features in-between, those cannot stay live in the old version file format.

  • CS3 hangs when saving as PDF

    Having another issue today. When saving my file as Acrobat(PDF), the program just lock up. Only way out is to task manager and close down. Am running Vista Home Pro, Core2 Quad with 3gb memory. It had worked for about a week then all of a sudden, this issue. I have the complete CD3 master suite loaded and reloading/running the repair did not help. Anyone experience this or have an answer? Thanks in advance.

    I'll assume you're working on a Windows system.
    It's there, just off-screen.
    Have you ever had a second monitor installed or worked at a different screen resolution?
    Unfortunately, the PDF options dialog cannot be repositioned using normal methods (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2465666#2465666). Position information is buried deep in the Windows registry, so resetting prefs (and, possibly, even reinstalling Illustrator) won't help.
    Can you temporarily switch to a higher resolution or attach a second monitor? Once you have the dialog visible, you can pull it into your primary monitor area. It should then stay there after you restore your setup.
    Creating a new Windows user account and logging in as a new user might also solve the problem.

  • When saving a file i don't see the progress

    When saving Numbers files I use to see the progress of the save.  I no longer see its progress.  The files are being saved.  Any reason why this is happening??
    tj

    I'm on OS X 10.7, your profile says you're on 10.6.8, so i can't duplicate what you are seeing. If I was to guess, I'd say it is related to changes made for Lion where versions are  periodically saved automatically in the background, where you wouldn't want a progress window always popping up. "Save" has become "Save a Version" and, though I hadn't noticed, probably also does not pop up a progress window..

  • CS5 Photomerge hanging when using many files

    Hello,
    I have managed to work around the issue, but it's annoying nonetheless.
    The basic problem is that I've started creating very wide and tall Bokeh Panoramas or 'The Brenzier Method' http://www.ryanbrenizer.com/category/brenizer-method/
    From Lightroom I select the images I want and 'merge to panorama in PS'.  When I use say 2 - 30 images it's fine.  However when I use say 160 (ridiculous I know) it will hang when merging the files, processor usage stays on 13%, but the progress dialogue bar doesn't animate.  I tried it through photomerge and 'align all layers' from the edit menu.  I reduced this ridiculous amount to 60 and if I chose the 'vignette removal' option on the photomerge dialogue it will hang on this process after starting to create the panorama.  If I don't do the vignette, it will create the panorama.
    I know that it will depend upon the complexity of the merge, it's just annoying that it would fail whereas Microsoft ICE will complete the panorama without fail, it just may be of a lesser accuracy due to parallax.
    Other than using less images and attempting to overlap correctly, is there much else that can be done?
    I'm using an up to date version of CS5 64bit windows.  running on a 16gb Core i7 2600k.  The merged final image occupies 13gig of ram.  I have the scratch disc on a spare 2tb drive with about 1.5 tb free.
    Paul

    Mr_Fujisawa, I just wanted to come back on here and thank you for opening my mind to the "Brenizer Method", which I had not heard of before.  I've been experimenting with it today and enjoying the results!  Up to now I put effort into getting everything in focus all across my panos, which are generally landscapes.  It didn't dawn on me to use stitching on subjects up close.
