Excel 2010 hangs on close

[topdabadawg]

I have a user running a copy of 2010 pro. It has full functionality, except when closing the application itself it hangs and takes 45 - 60 seconds to close the window. It is on a Windows 7 64-bit box. I have reinstalled the application, repaired the installation, checked to see if there are any printers added that do not exist. Has anyone seen this issue. BTW- The application is installed on an hp laptop with a coreI5 and 8 gig of ram.

1. Workbook does not matter, will hang with no workbook open
2. still hangs on closing
3. no additional add-ins other than included in fresh install
4. logged in user to multiple machines, closes properly on other machines
5. alternate user profiles hang upon closing
7. Kaspersky anti-virus, sames as on all other installs
8. this is the only issue with office

From your responses to 4 and 5, I'm guessing that it may actually (odd as it may seem) be an odd hardware issue. My first guess is an odd RAM issue that'll be difficult to pinpoint. That's where I'd be tempted to check next... so remove all but one stick of RAM while powered off, try with the first stick of ram... if same issue, move on to next, test until you find if one works fine, or one does not work fine compared to the others. Sounds like a silly test, I'm sure, and odd maybe in this forum, but based on your responses, that's my next guess at it.

By the way, running Memtest or another memory scanner does not always guarantee the RAM is a-ok. You probably already know that, but just mentioning for anyone who reads this and is not aware of it.
