save as window keeps popping up

I run Office 2010.

Recently the "Save as" dialogue box keeps coming up for no apparent reason.  Once it starts it won't go away unless I close the program using Ctrl-Alt-Delete and then restart.  Within 2 to 3 minutes the whole thing starts again.  I'm trying to avoid reloading Office to try and fix the problem, please advise.

BTW this mainly applies to Excel
