Hi again.
I'm in process of migration from MOSS 2007 to SPS 2010. Now our company uses both versions (2010 in test mode).
One of the problems that I received after upgrade is that some users can't open large (mor than 1MB file (Excel)). When they click on a file Excel shows that file is loading but actually there is no progress.
Their configuration is IE9+Office2010. Also, there are other users that have same browser+office configuration and they don't have any problem.

Sunday, April 01, 2012 11:45 AMNo error messages. Excel just shows that it is "loading" the document. Actually it is not even hanging - because user can click "Cancel" on load screen and it will cancel. But if you just wait the document is never loaded.

Hi,
From your narration, it issue is on your client side, since other users can open the Excel file successfully.
Do you want to open the Excel file via browser or Office Excel program?
If you want to open the file via Office Excel, please try to reinstall Office, then check the effect.
If you want to open the file in browser, make sure you have installed Office Web App and configure it correctly.
For more information about configuring Office Web App, please refer to the following article:

I'm talking about problem when user tries to open file in client application.
Also, I configured Office Web Apps and there is no problem with them, but web edit is not enough because it doesn't support editing most of files in our company.

OK, finally we found that trouble was caused by anvirus/firewall software - Kaspersky.
SharePoint site address must be added to trusted sites in Kaspersky firewall settings.

Ownmaster,
I'm having this exact problem. What did you change in Kaspersky to resolve this issue?
Thanks,

I didn't do this configuration - I'll ask people who did this.

Ownmaster,
I should have followed up on my reply to you. I asked my team member responsible for AV and they told me he needed to add our intranet address to a trusted site list. If you did something different, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mike
