excel spreadsheets open slowly
I am running Office 2000 on Windows XP Pro. When I click to open an existing
Excel spreadsheet, Excel launches right up and the spread opens right up. If I then go to open a second existing spreadsheet, the hourglass just sits there on top of the first page for about 30 seconds before the 2nd (or 3rd, or 4th, any one after the 1st) opens. These are not huge spreadsheets. I disabled real time scanning in Symantec AV, but it still happens. The spreadsheets are on a server, but all other files I open from the server open right up the way they should (Word files, graphics files). Any ideas on this? Dell says it's a Symantec or Microsoft problem, Microsoft says Dell or Symantec, Symantec says "not us!" |

How much RAM do you have? What's your processor speed? What's the size of
the XL files you're trying to open? What's the network connection speed between your PC and your server? How many other applications and documents do you have open when you're trying to open these Excel spreadsheets? The answer to any of these questions could point you in the right direction.
