MS Office Forum / Excel / Setup / October 2003slow opening excel files
When I double click on an excel file from either "start/Documets or a shortcut on the desktop, it takes about 5 seconds for the hourglass to show and the file to start to open. I am useing a new dell D400 with 512mg ram so memory can't be the problem. I also have teh same situation with word files but not wiht other non office files. HELP! Michael What version of XL? If it is 97 check in outlook that journaling is switched off. If it is a later version, check your virus scanner. I have a new ThinkPad and NAV shows 'requesting scan' in the taskbar and that can take up to 10 seconds, depending on the size of the file  SignatureHTH Nick Hodge Southampton, England nick_hodge@btinternet.com > When I double click on an excel file from > either "start/Documets or a shortcut on the desktop, it [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > same situation with word files but not wiht other non > office files. HELP! Nick: I am running Office XP and Windows XP Pro. If I open the files fromn the "File" Menu's recently used files list they open very fast. They are only slow from desktop shortcuts and the Documents list on the start button. Michael >-----Original Message----- >Michael [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >. To make a fair test, open the file from File, Open so that you have the same file in your recently used as you have on your desktop, Check both methods of opening the same file. Try clearing out your internet temporary files then see if that makes a difference to either method of access. And report back your results so we also know the results (feedback), including the results from the other solutions. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm > Nick: > I am running Office XP and Windows XP Pro.
