Roger,
That was exactly the problem. Thanks, and i could have never figured it out
without this site and your imput. I would have been nuts before it was over.
I would let everyone know that Google desktop drains the program. Thanks
again for you help.
Regards

Hi
Do you have Google Desktop installed?
Try removing it and see if that makes a difference.
There have been several posts suggesting that this can slow things down with
Excel files.

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.

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,
