Delay in file opening in excel 2007

[Madiya]

I have just upgraded from excel 2003 to excel 2007.
Now if I open any file (even a test file with data in only 1 cell) it
do not open unless and untill I click on minimise.

Has anybody experiance this symptoms?

Thanks,
Madiya

When you say you open a file, do you mean that you have Excel already
running and open the workbook from the File menu, or are you
double-clicking on an icon in a Windows folder window? I'm not sure
why this would make much difference, but the answer may lead
somewhere.

i've seen what you mention causing a problem when there was a disconnected
mapped drive. file open worked ok, but double clicking a file would exhibit long
wait times.

Chip and Gary,
Thanks for reply.
I have tried to open the file both ways.
1. By double clicking in the windows explorer
2. Excel already open and I open the file by going to file, open
dialogue box.
Both takes the same time.

However, I have noticed that today my wait time is reduced
considerably.
But I have not changed anything on my pc. No software add/removed, no
settings changed. Only new data files created and saved.
Also there is no mapped drive on my pc.

Thanks,
Madiya.
