Are the books rather large?

Do you have auto save or auto recovery options activated?

In November 2005 I had Windows XP installed. Previously I had Windows
2000.
Prior to XP being installed I had no problems with Excel. I currently
have
Excel 2002. The problem I have, is the worksheet will get "hung up" and I
can't move to another worksheet in the workbook. I can open another
workbook
and move around to the various worksheets while the other workbook is
"hung
up". Sometimes the new workbook I open will also get "hung up".
Eventually
they will get "unhung" and then I can click on the worksheet I need and
proceed. What is causing this problem as this is causing me to slow way
down in my work? What can I do to fix it?
