Excel2007 Problem: When opening a new Excel File


Recommended Posts

Posted

Recently made the mistake of switching from Office 2003 to Office 2007 and life has been pretty frustrating since then :)

Here's another problem: When I go to Start | New Microsoft Office Document | General Tab | Blank Workbook

Excel pops up almost right away but after about 10 seconds (which in my opinion is a big delay) a dialog box (shown in the attached image) pops up

For now I just press on the OK button and start a new Excel file but how can I get rid of this problem once and for all.

Problem Solved (I think)

I downloaded to install SP2 for Office2007 but decided to search one last time before installing the SP2.

Luckily I came across a solution (shared below for benefit of all members) and the solution basically boiled down to deleting PERSONAL.XLS. Please see details below:

Background: The new XLSTART folder for Office 2007 is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\XLSTART But, if you upgraded from a previous version, there may still be a personal macro workbook called “PERSONAL.XLS” located in the old location: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

Fix: To correct the delayed file opening problem, just delete the old PERSONAL.XLS file
