The problem still persists.

Even more interesting is while I was waiting for the copy&paste, I
checked the Task Manager and saw no CPU usage activity from this
EXCEL, but it just not responding...!

Hi,

I think your 2GB of free space is your biggest problem.
I run winXP and I have performance problems if I let my
free space get below 10GB. I believe Vista is even hungrier
than XP. These days Windows needs lots of vast open
spaces to operate properly.

Your best bet is to post on the Windows newsgroups to
find out the facts of just what you need to do.

In the meantime try freeing up 10GB or more if you can
and see if that helps any.

Help! What might happen if Excel spends a lot of time pasting?

Hi all,

I just don't understand this.

I don't know ever since when, my Excel is so slow, esp. when I copy
and paste.

When I copy from one book, and paste to another book,

the very instant when I enter "ctrl+v" to paste...

the whole Excel freezes and my CPU usage went to 100%...

The whole program is not responding any more.

Can anybody help?

Thanks!
