Older 98 Excel Slowing Down

[Durling]

Office 98 Excel running on 500MHz (cache bus 250 MHz, System bus 66MHz)
iMac, OS 8.6

Problem: saving "editions" (publishing) upon closing accounting files has
suddenly slowed to a crawl. What took seconds for years is now taking
minutes. Problem first occurred after building FY 2005 accounts using the
same format and account relationships (publishing / subscribing) as previous
years.

Any ideas?

thanks

Hi ,

Here are few step I think might help you,

Please rebuild the desktop. You can do so holding command +option key on
keyboard when you start the system until it promts for rebuilding and say
yes when it promts.

Secondaly allocate some more memory and check if that helps

Regards

Mahesh

In addition to the suggestions from Mahesh, what is the status of your
Hard Disk? It could be that it needs optimizing and/or you may be
running low on free space.

Also, you used the word "suddenly"... Have you recently installed
anything new or made any system changes that may affect performance?
Are you now doing something different, like having other software
running while you're using Excel?

Good Luck!
