For the last few days I have been experiencing a frequent "Not responding" message when working in office 2010 Pro. I have repaired Office and rebooted (Soft and Hard) several times without success.
For example, I can open an Excel workbook and work for a couple of minutes and then suddenly I get the "Not Responding" message. This also happens in Word and Outlook. I have to close the program to get out to do other tasks.
In all cases, these are very small simple files so size has nothing to do with the problem.
As posted yesterday, opening a particular email message in Outlook will cause the error. Other email messages open fine. I have been receiving this particular daily email for several years without any problems.

What to do, what to do? Do I have to remove and reinstall Office to fix it?

Thanks for the help!
