I have the same problem plus slow block copy, white screens when I try to use
excel (2003, 2002). Block deletes take up to 15 minutes at times. Task
manager shows I'm using 50-60% of memory, not much in page files, not much
kernel. Some files that previously worked won't open. I've tried this on
several computers and it doesn't seem to be affected by RAM. It does it with
512 mb, 2048 mb or 2560 mb. Doesn't seem to be affected by the CPU.
Admittedly I use big and rather complex files, but the problem seems to be
getting worse. I've tried to turn undo off for some of this, doing my
darndest to keep the clipboard free of junk. Usually end up saving files and
rebooting. Sometimes that seems to help.

Other than going back to an old copy of Quattro Pro, a vastly superior
spreadsheet compared to Excel, any ideas on how to make this thing work
better?

ok, I'll try that, thanks.

If you've changed the zoom factor to something besides 100%, try changing it
back to 100%.

Sometimes that helps.

When using Excel, I receive an error message telling me that there is not
enough system resources to display completely. Anyone have any idea what this
means and what I can do to correct it?
