I don't have another guess, but I'd look again for .xar files.

Close excel
windows start button|search
*.xar
(look through hidden folders, too)

Tools|Options|Save tab will give you the folder location for that

Close excel
Use windows explorer to traverse to that folder.

I'm guessing that you have a file with an extension of .XAR that's not
being
deleted.

If excel closed normally (no crashes), then try deleting an .xar files
you find
there. (If you're nervous, you could move them to another
location--just in
case.)

Then restart excel to see what happens.

Thanks for replying but I tried all of what you suggested and it still
does the same as what it did before. There were no .XAR files to delete
when i opened the save folder though. I logged on as admin and there
were no .XAR files either. I rename the files which takes them off of
the document recovery pane but when i rename them back, they re-appear
on the recovery pane again.
