Does it actually stop, or maybe pause for so long that you <think> it has 
stopped ? Maybe there's a large picture in there or something. I had an 
occasion like this where I was trying to save a file, the PC kept on 
"hanging" and I frustratedly kept on rebooting and re-trying. Then in the 
middle of one re-try I had a phone call, and just left the PC there ... 
about 10 minutes later it suddenly came to life, and finished the export.
