Ok I tried that, and as long as excel is running, and i open the files it's
at normal speed, but to open excel/shut it, i think it's still to slow? Any
ideas?

I appreciate the help!

Hi Ashley

Try saving the files as a standard name i.e. so it does not show
Filename(Version).xls [Recovered] in the title bar.
Then close the files, close Excel and re-open.
