Excel 2003 slow to open - Network/ Online Related
 

Hi

Excel 2003 has recently become very slow to open. Regardless of the
workbook / file. I have disabled all Add-In's and cleaned out the temp
folder. The slow down appears to be related to having a live network /
internet connection. If I disable my connection or pull out my network
cable and launch Excel it opens straight away, if I plug it back in or
re-enable it it takes 30-45 seconds to open. I have added Excel to the
Windows Firewall exception list but it still takes around 15-25 seconds to
open a workbook.

Any ideas what its doing?

Thanks
Matt
