Sluggish response with Excel 2003
Hi Wayne
there could be a myriad of reasons why the performance is sluggish. Take a look at Charles Williams site and look through his Optimisation procedures for speeding up performance. http://www.decisionmodels.com/ -- Regards Roger Govier "Wayne" wrote in message ...

Increase your RAM (Memory) to 2 GB might help.

Sluggish response with Excel 2003
Hi, Thanks for the advice. I have looked at the site you referenced but
without purchasing something it wasn't vey helpful. Mine is not a consitant problem. Some applications work fine but most start of ok and then go to this "Sluggish" mode where no matter what function i'm undertaking I have to wait, significantly wait, until it completes. How do I optimise or unchecksomething in order to enjoy a standard resposne time? -- Wayne "Roger Govier" wrote: Hi Wayne there could be a myriad of reasons why the performance is sluggish.

Hi Wayne
Without purchasing anything, Charles Williams does offer a lot of useful pointers to areas which can slow down performance of the spreadsheet. If the problem is not specific to any particular workbooks, then maybe you need to clean up your hard disk and empty the temporary folders. Also, clearing out the Prefetch folder in Windows often helps (it will rebuild itself as you use successive programs). There is a free product called CCleaner, which will carry out these tasks for you http://www.ccleaner.com/ -- Regards Roger Govier "Wayne" wrote in message ... Hi, Thanks for the advice.

Hi,

Has sluggishness always been a problem with your computer? Has sluggishness always been a problem with your Excel? When was the problem first apparent? If the problem is only with one spreadsheet did it appear after you made a structural change or added a lot of data? This will help to determine what may have caused the problem. Bill R |
