Excel 2007 slow to open 2003 files
When I double-click on an Excel 2003 (.xls) file, Excel 2007 takes a long
time (30 seconds) to open the file. I can avoid this delay by minimizing Excel at which point it immediately maximizes itself and opens the file. |

Excel 2007 slow to open 2003 files
Yet another twist. A few days ago (a week after installing Office 2007),
..xls files starting opening in Excel 2003 again by default. "Tom" wrote: thanks for the tip, I'm having the exact same problem. Is there a permanent fix for this? |

Excel 2007 slow to open 2003 files
Same thing here. Didn't know about the minimize thing but it works. I'll try
filemon and regmon to see if I can find anything weird. It is just really annoying. I first noticed it when I tried to open an attachment from Outlook and thought that was the problem. Then when I saved it to my hard drive, it still took a long time to open. I'll let you know what I find out. "jawodele" wrote: Yet another twist.

Do either of you have any addins installed? I had 2 and when I removed them
both, it started to work like normal. "_-_Goldfinger_-_" wrote: Same thing here. Didn't know about the minimize thing but it works. I'll try filemon and regmon to see if I can find anything weird.

Excel 2007 slow to open 2003 files
What I found out: Open Excel 2007 first, then use CTRL+O to OPEN the needed
file. In my case newer and older Excel files are experiencing the 30 second wait... -- ~Myst~ "_-_Goldfinger_-_" wrote: Do either of you have any addins installed?
