DDE links slow opening in Vista?

Hi, its a long time since i last visited this site, hope everyone is ok.

I've a problem with Vista and DDE links, in my main spread sheet i have
around 300 - 350 links, i only purchased Vista Business last week, the spread
sheet works fine, but when i open it and clic on update links, it takes about
3-4 minutes for the links to start to update, ie i have to wait that long for
anything to happen, if i touch the keyboard or click my mouse then i get the
"not responding" message a the top of the screen. If i just leave it, it will
work perfectly after the initial wait. Could someone please explain why this
is and is there a cure for it. The same spreadsheet only took a few seconds
to start in XP.

Also is excel slower using Vista as aposed to XP?

Mnay Thanks.
