Excel 2000 so slow in vista

[woodis]

Hello All,

Im running pentium duo core, Vista home, excel 2000, 4GB ram, Toshiba
laptop. I have relatively small spreadsheet 1,000 lines, 25 columns. I
could do anything I wanted really quick on a P4 1Ghz desktop XP, no waiting
on anything. Now,

20 seconds to wait to draw a box around a cell
Format a font - 15 seconds waiting on the circle thing
Add or remove a page break-30+seconds circle thing.
Cut-paste a cell 30 seconds. I created a dummy spreadsheet with 1K lines
and 10 columns from File,Open,New. Still the same, incredibly slow. Hey I'm
not bashing Excel at all. Been a heavy user for over 15 years, and I still
love it.

But...Its taking me 6 hours to do 1 hours of work because of the waiting!!
Anyone got any suggestions?

Thank you fine pros out there! I am at a loss.

Unbelievable, just did the same thing Steve, fixed my problem. Same network
setup. I cant Imagine why a network printer would cause the slow problems,

Thanks for the find, I should have looked harder before I posted.
