I don't have Vista, but a couple of (remote) possibilities you could try..
Clear out your Windows(?) Temp folder, where ever that is on Vista
-and-
See is turning off the display of page breaks on the worksheet makes any difference.
Good luck with it.

Jim,
No luck on that avenue. I even went as far to uninstall Norton, to make
sure there was no conflict. It has to be a feature in Vista that is causing
it to slow Excel, because i don't have any problems in XP. Any other
thoughts would be great. Thanks for the help

Gerry,
I have exactly the same problem. I just got my new computer up and running
and i work in Excel all day long. When inserting and deleting rows or
columns, it takes at least 30 seconds for my new vista machine to respond. I
have several computers with XP-2 and i have no issues with 2007. Have you
found an answer to your problem? I would love to know about it.

I have my new Vista machine with Excel 2007 on my desk and my old XP PC with
Excel 2002 is pushed aside. The new PC with dual cores, 2 Gb RAM, etc. is
faster in almost every aspect. One exception is inserting and deleting rows
in Excel.
With my old XP/2002 PC, this function is instantaneous. There is not even a
hesitation. With Vista/2007, the aqua, spinning disk appears and there is a
several second hesitation for every insert or delete.
I have all the latest updates and I ran the diagnostics. Everything appears
normal.
So, can it be true that Excel 2007 is just slower? I am creating and editing
spreadsheets every day and the extra seconds are adding up. I wasn't
expecting to take a step backwards in efficiency.
Thanks for any help or thoughts,
