Not sure. Assuming that this happens with ANY workbook, try Excel
troubleshooting:

After making changes to my excel program I go to save the changes and
excel
is locked up for at least 45+ seconds. It will finally free up and I can
click file and save the changes. I check in Task Manager and it shows 2
excel
programs and both are not running. When it frees up Task Manager shows 1
excel program running. What maybe my problem?
