Excel slow for one user on a computer

by lmayeda . Updated 17 years ago

I have a multi-user computer on the network. For some reason, it takes forever to open any Excel spreadsheet for one of the user profiles. If I make all users PC Administrators, I can open the same spreadsheets from another profile on the same PC with no problem. I have nevertheless uninstalled office and reinstalled it. The Excel documents are on the local PC. I had gone through the HKLM and HKLU registry entries for the start up programs and deleted what I deemed to be non-essential. Yesterday’s McAfee scan was clean and I had also run a couple of rootkit search programs that yielded nothing. I have yet to transfer all of her files to another PC, delete her profile and rebuild it. When I watch the Task Manager Processes tab (with no other applications open), its slow to load Excel and even after Excel is loaded, it’s slow to open additional Excel spreadsheets. Any ideas would be appreciated.
