MS Access 2013 crashes continually on different computers.

I having increasing problems with Access 2013 crashing.  Even after compacting and repairing the database it crashes all of the time - now it's crashing whenever I try to do a "save as" or when I try to exit.  It's been unstable since I started using it but it seems to be getting worse, and it happens on multiple machines. Anyone have an idea why it's constantly crashing?

    I created a new accdb (which is the same extension I am currently using) and unchecked the two items you suggested ("Compact on close" and "Track name AutoCorrect") and imported everything (including import specs) into it.

    I went into design view of one of my forms and tried editing the "Row Source" property of a combo control and had to wait at least 45 seconds (the application showed "(Not Responding)") before I was able to view the query.

    Really am getting stumped...

    Let's do this, create a new database, uncheck the two things I meantioned above and import everything into it.  Do you still experience freezing?

    Compact on Close was already unchecked.

    "Track name AutoCorrect" was checked.  I unchecked it, saved, and exited the app.  I then launched the DB and am still experiencing the same behaviour.  Simply changing the size of a subform and change views - from design to form view - causes Access to freeze.  It took just under a minute to start responding.

    Is *Track name AutoCorrect* unchecked?

    Is *Compact on Close* unchecked?

    Also wanted to point out that this was never an issue in Access 2010.
