There are no macros. So all that the video shows is that if you have excel open then try to open another workbook you get a blue spinning wheel. If you click on a sheet in the original workbook the file you are trying to open then opens straight away.

We have repaired the installation and we have also swapped the PC. We have tried copying the files to the desktop from the server. <br />
The PC's are HP with Windows 7 Pro, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Network is gigabit<br />

MS Excel 2013 hanging problem

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.

Microsoft Office

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
