I have a problem when I open certain spreadsheets that are on a server. My
laptop slows to a crawl. I don't think it's an Excel problem, I think it may
be more of an Excel configuration problem. I can't find anything in Excel
that isn't right. It takes me 20 minutes just to open the file and another
user can open it in 2 minutes.

What might I look at in the system tools etc that could tell me specifically
where my problem is? As in, do I need more memory or something like that.

Thanks
