Microsoft Office XP excel 2003
When I open Excel 2003 the splash screen hangs for 30 seconds to about a
minute and then excel opens and behaves normally. All other office programs such as Word etc open quickly and behave normally. If Excel is opened in safe mode , the program opens rapidly without any splash screen at all. Any explanations and indeed a cure for this behaviour ? Regards -- FLYNNE |

When you open excel in safe mode, you're not opening the addins or stuff in your
XLStart folder or your customized toolbar. If you don't have lots of addins turned on and don't have lots of stuff in your XLStart folder, then I'd try this: Close excel then use windows search to find all the *.xlb files and rename them all to *.xlbOLD Then reopen excel to test it. If it works ok, you can delete those *.xlbOLD files. And rebuild any changes to your toolbars. If that wasn't the solution, then just rename them back to the original names (with excel closed).

Look under Tools-Addins how many of them was loaded. I was notice that
loading of adins can result in longer excel startup. "FLYNNE" wrote in message ...
