Excel 2007 incredibly slow on saving

R

Roger Nye

Hi,
I am just trying Excel 2007 for the first time.
Saving a file (in compatibility mode) takes around 15 minutes!
Savng the same file (about 12Mb) takes 5 seconds in Excel 2003.

Clearly I have turned off autosave as this prevented me from working
altogether (it takes longer to save than the 10 minute interval between
saves).

This just can't be right! Any ideas what could cause this?

I am using a fast PC (quad-core Xeon 2.3 GHz) with 4Gb RAM. There is plenty
of disk space and it is not cluttered or fragmented.
Saves are to the local hard disk and there are no links over network
connections.

Other software saves just fine.

I am using Norton 360 virus checker, but don't know if that can materially
affect saving files (earlier versions used to affect loading them).

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Roger
