Performance in excel 97 is poor
I have many pc's in my plant that use office 97 still (most used application is excel 97) - most of the pc's are on OS 2k or better - when opening excel 97 it takes forever on many (locally installed also) - once it does open the performance is bad - scrolling and moving is almost impossible - is there a fix for the pc's - at least until I can get the $$ to upgrade office These are typical installs no addins etc... - as generic as they can be Thanks -- cctd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cctd's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30144 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=498283 |

If you do that and it dramatically speeds up, then one might suspect there is indeed some linked file that's slowing things down and more effort in that direction might be productive. If reinstalling does not help, then that might say something about the basic machine and OS setup or virus scans needs more focus. What I'm suggesting is that reinstalling on one machine might simply be a useful diagnostic, not an end solution. And I wouldn't presume that upgrading Office would solve the problem anyhow since something is apparently broken, not just old. Good luck... Bill |
