excel using 99% cpu usage

[inenewbl]

Hi all. Whenever i open an excel file which is of 1MB size and amend even a
single cell it would take quite a few seconds to do so and i can see my cpu
resource being occupied by excel by 99%. This is so even though i did not
enable any link when i open the excel file, i have also disable the error
check option. I have done repair of my office but to no avail. Is there any
other possibilities as to why this has happened? Thks in advance.

if you have enough of the proper equations to get a large number of
dependencies, (links between cells) every cell gets recalulated. One thng I
do on this type of file when it ihas repeated equations which only need to be
done occassionally, is to leave a base equaiton to copy and paste special
values the rest. you have to save the file and reopen it to get rid of
calculate all
