My computer runs on Windows 95 and Office 97. When I save a 100 kb "plain vanilla" file in Excel (or Word), it takes over a minute to save on the hard disk. It didn't always do this. What is wrong?

Hi James!
Most probable causes are:
** Windows 95/98/ME
Too much accumulated junk in:
C:\Windows\Temp File
Delete all contents of this temp file.
If you feel that's extreme, just copy them to a new location before
deleting but remember that you can delete them later.
Try Excel again.

Tried and temp files are not the problem. When Excel is opened to a new blank file, it closes just fine. Even exiting with an old file and not saving takes 30-60 seconds versus a second or two on the new.
Any more ideas?

Hi James!
Saving in multiple file formats. Unless you really need to load in
other formats just save as an xls file.
Using the Outlook Journaling feature. Turn it off using Outlook.
Anti-Virus programs can slow down saving.

Dollars to donuts it's your journaling feature from Outlook. I HATE that thing! It randomly seems to turn on... I had this problem 2-3 years ago, and somehow it came back. It doesn't matter if you don't even USE Outlook! I know, it's crazy... but that's what I've found to work. -D
