Default Alternating color row makes excel run very slow

Hi Frank,
I use the code below very succesfully.

Sub ColorWhenValueChange()
'
'The xlsweetspot guy would would do it this way.
Dim strActiveAddress As String 'Use this to track single cell
position
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveCell.Offset(2, 0).Select
Do While Len(ActiveCell.Value) < 0 ' This will run until a row
isblank.
strActiveAddress = ActiveCell.Address
' Compare the values in the current cell with the one above
If ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Value Then
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Offset(-1, 0).Copy
ActiveCell.EntireRow.PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
Else
If ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Then
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 153) '36
< - Change colour value here
Else
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
End If
Range(strActiveAddress).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
End sub

Best regards,
