Does anyone out there know why my excel program would run slow after a few
minutes. My cursor sits for a few seconds before it responds to a tab entry.
I can actually see numbers sit for a few seconds and then change after I
make entries. When I drag my cursor, it seems to stop a each cell for a
split second before it moves to the next. This slowness can be madness when
you have multiple entries to make.

Thanks for your help

Try Pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del to see what is using the processor.

I would start by emptying TIF folders and Temp folders.

Then I would maybe close down some unnecessary running programs.

Does it happen only in Excel? If yes, then does it happen in all spreadsheets
you have or only in few of them?

If it happens with few then you may have lot of formulae which get
recalculated every time. You can turn that off. It is under Formulas in 2007.
