How can I get my spreadsheets to open faster?
 

When I click my excel icon the hour glass just sits there for a long time
before the spreadsheet opens. It didn't do that before.

How can I get my spreadsheets to open faster?
 

How long is a long time? 10 seconds or 3 minutes?

"before" what?

A windows update?

Before your TIF and Temp folders got full of crap?

Before you checked six more add-ins to load?

See Chip Pearson's site for troubleshooting startup, not just startup errors,
but slow starts as well.

The icon sits there for about 3 minutes, then the spreadsheet appears. When
I save changes to a spreadsheet it also takes about three minutes to
complete. How can I get it to respond faster like it used to do?
