Speed of Excel When Inserting & Deleting Rows
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, |

Speed of Excel When Inserting & Deleting Rows
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.

Try turning off the "office" portion of your anti-virus program and see if that helps. -- Jim Cone San Francisco, USA http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware (Excel Add-ins / Excel Programming) "Matt Parker" wrote in message Gerry, I have exactly the same problem.

Speed of Excel When Inserting & Deleting Rows
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.

Speed of Excel When Inserting & Deleting Rows
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 Cone San Francisco, USA http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware (Excel Add-ins / Excel Programming) "Matt Parker" wrote in message Jim, No luck on that avenue.

Matt, One more thing to try... change calculation to Manual and see what happens. Jim Cone "Jim Cone" wrote in message I don't have Vista, but a couple of (remote) possibilities you could try..

Speed of Excel When Inserting & Deleting Rows
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. -- Regards Roger Govier "Matt Parker" wrote in message ... Jim, No luck on that avenue.

Speed of Excel When Inserting & Deleting Rows
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 Matt Parker "Roger Govier" wrote: Hi Do you have Google Desktop installed?

Gerry,
Roger let me know that the problem is Google Desktop. The program drains excel's performance. Hope that helps your problem.

Thanks Matt for all the follow-up and thanks Roger for the solution. I deleted the Google desktop and the problem seems to be solved. (I am very impressed with this forum.)

Speed of Excel When Inserting & Deleting Rows
I just want to say thank you so much. You and Roger helped me a lot. My excel
was ridiculously slow. I read this and took it all out. I myself just got a new laptop with Vista. Excell 2007 works great on my desktop with windows XP but I was getting no where with Vista. I couldn't believe how slow it was. I uninstalled Google Desktop and everything else Google. It runs so much faster now. Thank you so much. I myself am glad I found this board.
