Excel freezes when recording macro - excel

Question

I have an existing .xlsm file that runs perfectly with all of the macros. The problem is that when I attempt to record another macro, I add a column, press enter, and get the message "Microsoft Excel has stopped responding". I then have to end the process. I am assuming that this has something to do with the existing macro which was imported from Excel 2003 and modified to work for 2010.
Are there any incompatabilities within this macro that could cause this issue?
Sub Auto_Open()
Wbname = ActiveWorkbook.Name ' this needs to be first so the move works properly
fileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename("CSV files (*.csv), *.csv", 1, "Select file to open")
If fileToOpen <> False Then
Workbooks.Open (fileToOpen)
End If
sheetname = ActiveSheet.Name
Sheets(sheetname).Select
Sheets(sheetname).Move Before:=Workbooks(Wbname).Sheets(1)
Call Weekly_RTP
End Sub
Sub Weekly_RTP()

I experienced the same problem, here's something you can try. Go to start-->run, and type %temp% in the box. This will bring up your temporary files.
Delete all or some of them, restart your computer and try again.
