Guest Gustavo Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Hi all, i'm having a strange behavior on one of our computers. I have Excel and some applications for the financial market (GL, Esignal mainly) with a lot of links (DDE and RTD on the spreadsheet). Sometimes - i couldn't find any thing that makes it happens, the task bar just freezes, and switching applications takes too much time. ALT- TAB still works, but when the application gots the focus, seens like it takes 10 to 15 seconds to start reponding.. After that, this app works OK, but when i change focus agains, the same 15 secs. If i close the excel and reopen it, than everything works good again for some time.. It`s driving me crazy! I can;t find any relation. i have reinstalled the computer - same issue. the hardware he is using now is a core 2 quad with 2 Gb RAM. I have other users with the same worksheet and worst computers and it dosen't happen. Can somebody gives me an advice?? Thanks
