I have been experiencing prolonged Excel start up times. It began happening
within the past week. Everytime I open Excel, it takes a long time and if I look at the task manager, it appears to be Not Responding. However, if I wait for several minutes, it finally opens and functions properly after open. This problem exists with all previously saved files and even when opening a new book. Any thoughts? Thanks. |

I'd close excel and empty the windows temp folder.
windows start button|run %temp% And delete as much as you can. (Some people recommend you do this right after rebooting--just to be safe.) If that doesn't help, it may be a corrupted toolbar file (*.xlb). With excel closed windows start button|find/search look for *.xlb (through hidden folders and for hidden files) and rename all you find to *.xlbOLD then start excel and test it out. If it worked ok, then delete those *.xlbOLD files. And rebuild any customizations you've made. If it didn't work ok, then rename the *.xlbOLD files back to *.xlb.
