Hello,

Everyday when I first open Excel and when I type something in, it takes a
few seconds to show up in cell. After the first time, I don't have any delay.

Has anyone experienced it? Is there a setting in Excel that I need to change?

Thanks.

Do you have a Personal.xls file that is opening in the background. This file
contains macros that can be used by all workbooks. It opens when you start
Excel and is hidden from view. To view any hidden workbooks, click WINDOW in
the menu and select UNHIDE.

If UNHIDE is grayed out then this is not the issue.

Kevin,

The Unhide is grayed out. I also checked the things that are running in the
background, and I didn't see "Personal.xls".

Thanks. What else could it be?

I would clean up up my TIF folder and any Temp folders as a starting point to
trouble-shooting.

Thanks Gord. I clean my temp folders periodically and my Internet Temporary
Files folder daily.

Thanks.

No other guesses at this time.

Hang in......someone may come up with a tip.

One more piece of information: I also did the "Detect and Repair" in Excel.

Thanks.

If you start excel in safe mode

close excel
windows start button|run
excel /safe

and open any workbook

Do you still have this trouble?

Maybe you'll find something in one of these two sites to help find the problem.

Chip Pearson has some notes on how to diagnose startup errors:

And Jan Karel Pieterse has more notes:

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the information. I will try your instructions next day. My
problem is only happened one time a day. Even if I restart my computer now,
I do not have that problem. I am going to wait until tomorrow.

My problem is just like some human beings. You know you don't feel like
working at startup. Maybe, I will have to get a coffee to wake it up. Just
joking.

By the way, I clean the temp folders periodically and the Temporary Internet
Files folder daily.

If you think of others (besides coffee), please let me know.

Thanks. Have a nice weekend.

I think I had a car like that. It never liked starting on those bitter code
mornings. Oh, wait. That was me!

(I don't have anything else.)

Good morning Dave,

I think I am not having the startup problem in Excel anymore, and I think I
know what fixes it.

Before I posted this tread, I had over 200MB of files in my Recycled Bin.
Then I deleted them all a couple of days ago. Since then, I have not had any
problem. That was unintentional fix.

That does not make sense. If you have cluttered with files in Recycled Bin,
Temp and TIF, Excel would cause problem. How could they be related to Excel?
Do you think that is the bug for Excel?

Anyway, thanks you and everyone for all the helps.

By the way, would you happen to know a discussion group or a site that I can
go to get help on writing a batch file?

I don't know of any problems that would be caused by files in the Recycle bin.
I've seen people post that the TIF could cause trouble, too--but I've never seen
that.

But too many files in the windows temp folder can cause trouble.

I don't know of any newsgroups that are dedicated to Batch files. But you may
find some web sites that still offer tips.

But there are lots of newsgroups dedicated to scripting (.bat files on
steroids???).

Here are some:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ipting.hosting
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...pting.vbscript
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....scripting.wsh

and a couple of sites:
http://mvps.org/scripting/ (Alex Angelopoulos)
http://www.intranetjournal.com/corne...vbt/index.html
http://groups.msn.com/windowsscript
http://www.winscripter.com/
http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homep...azaar/wsh1.htm

Here's a batch file site:

(amazing what's in old bookmarks, huh?)
