Re: Excel - Insufficient Memory, Freezing Up, Slow Recalculations

Pat,

I am also having problems with Excel.
No freezes, but it keeps getting slower and slower. Many seconds for a
simple cut and past of cells.
I just run the latest update.
I also removed the old versions (2004 and X) that lingered. I had trouble
getting my office database to work, finally having to replace all of the
old Microsoft user data (which contained the 2004 & X version user files)
from my backup.

Everything else seems to run fine.

I have a system profile, how do I attach it?
