Saving a file takes very long

[Axel Schwenke]

Hi there!

There is a WinXP-Notebook with Office2000-sr1 installed.
Now it takes very long to save XL-files.
Even if I start a new sheet it takes about 5seks. to save. The filesize is
only 14kB.
A file with some graphics and about 2.2MB takes more than 40seks.
This happens while saving to our LAN and to the local harddrive.

The notebook is a P4 with 2GHz and 256MB RAM.
Only Outlook2000 is opened at the same time.

The "Journal" is deactivated on OL2k.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Axel

Try cleaning your windows temp folder. (Although, that usually gets blame for
slow opening.)

Maybe it could be your antivirus doing its thing, too. Can you disable it to
see if it made a difference.
