Excel very slow to open or close

[RobinAdams]

I am running Excel 2003 Professional. It is extremely slow to open and close.
I think this problem came from an update, but I removed several of the most
recent update but nothing changed. I tried detect and repair and got no
where. Any suggestions or know fixes?

Try closing excel and cleaning up your windows temp folder--it might help and it
can't hurt.

windows start button|Run
%temp%
is a quick way to get there.

And here are a couple of sites that discuss slow performance. The first is by
Charles Williams and the second by David McRitchie:
