Excel running really slow on my machine
I am running a 450 MHZ P2 machine with 384 MB memory and XP Pro. I
have a large spreadsheet that takes nearly two minutes to recalculate when I switch tabs. I was running Excel 2000 SP3. My friend is running a 600 MHZ P2 machine with 256 MB memory and XP Pro. Using the spreadsheet that I mailed him, he can do the same task in 20 seconds or less. He is running Excel 2000, native installation. I found something about updating the registry with a "CHARLOTTE" entry if you had SP3 on Excel. I tried that, same response time. I removed/reinstalled Office; same response time. I verified that the Excel was a clean install. I applied SP1; same response time. There is no SP2. It jumps next to SP3. Tony |

Charles,
I checked the list of tips. Unforutnately, I had already done most of them and the others were already as suggested. No improvement. I have kept your email address and will let you know what the fix is (if I ever find it).
