Hi All.

This started about a week ago: When I click on an XLS file Excel takes about 15 seconds to open and another 10 seconds to display the file. When I just start Excel from the Programs menu, it opens in a flash and opening a file from the menu is just as fast. I tried this with nothing else running. Did Spyware and virus scan - system is clean. These are very small XLS files with no macros, etc.
System is: WinXP, Dell P4 @ 3.4 GHz, 1 GB RAM

Any ideas?

Thank you,
