Sorry to hear of the issues you are experiencing, but there are a few troubleshooting steps we can try first to rule out the causes of some common problems.
Please make sure you are working locally as described here, and you may want to try importing the file into a new file. If you are still having issues, you might want to try to repair Storyline. Also, could you please ensure that you are utilizing the most recent SL2 Update? Info on the latest update can be found here.

Ive tried this on a few machines. All high speced PC systems running win7. I design commercially and have a few machines I tried this on, it is not just one file. But most files I create. Seems a bug in the build tbh.
I had a similar problem where SL2 hanged up when publishing for LMS. And the cancel button didnt´t work leaving me with the only option to crash SL2.
However since the last update the cancel button works. But only on the 2nd or sometimes 3rd time. When the publish is sucessfully canceled the publish usally work instantly when you press publish again.
I´m very glad that I no longer need to crash SL2 all the time. :)
If you're seeing Storyline consistently crash (or having to force it to) and have already looked into all of Christie's comments you'll want to pull the crash logs as described here. That article includes directions to send to our support team so that they can take a look.
I was having a similar problem: in SL2, publishing a file for LMS caused the system to hang. I would have to cancel, then try again - it sometimes saved OK on the second attempt. I'd been through the whole reinstall process with no luck, but then read a report from someone else who thought the long file string was the issue. My files are buried deep in our company's network, so I copied them over to my Articulate folder on my C drive, and it completely solved all of the publishing problems I was having. May be worth trying if you are still having issues.
Thanks Sue for the update and sharing here - as you'll see documented here you'll want to work on local project files and publish to a local drive as well. Working off a network drive or shared drive can cause issues with the file and lead to corruption.

Okay, that was the case in this instance. We share a network drive and a dropbox drive too. So I'll test locally via my SSD. Thanks guys!
Thanks Chris for that update. If you need to share files, you'll want to follow the steps here to collaborate across files.
