Excel save as dialog box is very slow

A

Abdul

Hi there,

recently i migrated to windows xp and office 2003. when ever i try to
save excel file using "save as", it takes longer time to display the
folder names ( save in: drop down box ). It freezes my pc for 2 mins
then populates the folder names.

Is there any way to speed up this? or any thing wrong with my installation?

thanks in advance
Abdul

Just a guess...

Do you have lots of mapped drives? Do you have lots of folders/files in that
folder?

The more stuff you have, the more stuff has to be looked through by windows.

When I'm in a hurry and I know the name of the drive/folder, I'll type it in and
hit enter.

Gives me one more coffee break per week!
