I'm having startup performance issues related to Excel 2007. The
following
timings further describe this issue.
Without previously opening Excel:
A simple (30 column, 200 row) spreadsheet opened by clicking on the XLSX
or
XLS file requires 60 - 62 seconds go open and display .
With excel open.
The same spreadsheets that required approximately 60 seconds to open in
the
first example will now open in 2- 3 seconds
Time required to open Excel via Program Start (no spreadsheet), is very
quick, requiring approximately 2 seconds.
The computer I'm using is a Toshiba p15 S540 with 2 gigs of memory and 80
gigs of disk, defraged, with approximately 20 gigs of available disk
space.
"About" shows version 2007 (12.0.4518.1014) (Office Ultimate 2007 -
upgrade). Uninstall and reinstall had no impact on the issue.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dan Riker


I know it doesn't make sense, but if you are running anti-virus software,
can you temporarily disable its auto "scan when opening file" feature, and
then repeat your experiment? For safety reasons, I usually disconnect from
the web completely when disabling security software.
