PC: Windows 98, Novell Groupwise 5.5, local Office 97, Dell Dimension XPS T500, 128 MB ram, Excel file strored on Novell 4.2 server. Groupwise runs from remote server, shared files on pc.

Problem: Groupwise open on taskbar, Excel goes erratic - highlights everything, hourglass stays on, have to cntl - alt-del to end Excel. After closing everything, then reopening only Excel - seems to work ok.

Anybody have any ideas or suggestions?

I'm having to dig way back in the memory banks for this one, but I saw one case like this a year or so ago.

The solution was to re-install Groupwise and NOT select the option to integrate it with MS Office. I wish I had more specific details foryou but maybe this can at least start you in the right direction.

You can try this....
Try renaming you normal.dot file to something else and reopening word....

If the virus is a macro virus, it more than likely infected the normal.dot file. Renaming it will force word to recreate it.

Re-install groupwise. When the option for Office integration shows up. Make sure it's not selected.

Thanks, but I know for sure Office integration is not selected.

I did turn off Groupwise altogether and still had the problem. Fix was: turn off the wheel function on the Intellimouse.

Thanks for the input!
