MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / April 2008Why is 2007 so Damn Slow???
I recently upgraded from 2000 to 2007, and I notice a HUGE difference in speed. 07 takes forever to load, but so did 00 if I had a very large spreadsheet, but once it was loaded I could zip around very quickly from page to page. With 07, once it's loaded it can stall forever going from page to page or even cell to cell. And to close it out takes forever as well. Sometimes it will just close out in stages. Normally you might think this is due to not enough ram, but I've got a gig of ram in my laptop and I do diagnostic checks several times a week. It was never a problem with 00. Am I the only one experiencing this or is this a system wide problem? In a post, yesterday, in this newsgroup, Dave Giesbrecht offered this... '---start quote "I suddenly ran into the same problem with a fairly basic workbook, where it was taking 20 to 30 seconds for my spreadsheet to update with even the simplest of changes. Often, I would receive a "not responding" message. After spending far too much time searching the web for a solution and troubleshooting my workbook, I found the problem. I removed the "freeze panes" option on my 6 worksheets. Instant speed and no more of the "not responding" messages. I'm certainly no expert, but it seems to me that this problem could be related to the expanded row and column capability in Excel 2007. If this is the case, quite the gaffe by Microsoft...makes the freeze pane option unusable. I have kept up to date with Office updates, and tried removing them one at a time, but it didn't help. Hope this works for others, and that MS picks up on this soon." '---end quote Excel 2007 has lots of problems. I have not "upgraded" and have no plans to do so.
