    Fast when computer is offline, very slow when online

    Hi there,
    When working with any Excel file (even brand new, extremely simple spreadsheets that are almost empty), I find that Excel grinds almost to a halt when my computer is connected to the internet. One day by chance I was offline and suddenly even my most complex my spreadsheets were incredibly fast. Same result every time. Now at least I know if it's driving me crazy I'll just go offline and be able to go as fast as I want, but it doesn't seem like a proper solution.

    Any tips on something that I can possibly disable so that Excel stops being slowed down simply by the computer being online? I haven't had this problem with any program other than Excel. I don't play games on my computer, I have Norton anti-virus, and I try to keep up on all my MS and Java updates (if any of that info is meaningful).

    Thanks!!
    Heidi

    Hi

    Sounds like something is hogging your processor time when on the internet open up task manager from your operating system this will show you what is using processor time watch it for a while to get the idea then log on to the internet that should at least identify the problem.
