Excel Screen Refresh Problem in Terminal Server

[Guest Denis]

Hello,

 

We have a terminal server on which 50 users logon via terminal services to

access various application on that server. We also have Microsoft Office

2003 installed on this server.

 

All the users using Excel 2003, are facing screen refresh problem heavily.

Whenever Inserting, Deleting any rows in excel, will refresh the screen very

slowly.

 

Has anybody faced such issue?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Denis

Hi Denis

 

I look after a Win2K3 terminal server cluster which around 60 users log on

to in order to use the office suite. I wonder if this problem appears to be a

resource issue? Have you tried using Excel on the terminal server when maybe

only one user is logged on, maybe outside of operational hours?

 

Have you made sure that your users are not using Windows desktop themes and

that your servers have been tuned to optimum performance?

I have realised myself over the years that Excel does seem to be quite

resource intensive especially when dealing with huge multi-page spreadsheets.

Hi there,

 

We were facing this problem in Office 2003 Professional. So, I uninstalled

it and installed Office 2002 (Office XP), and I was surprised to see that the

problem got solved to a great extent. Is there a problem with Office 2003?

 

When I insert a row in excel s

 

 

heet, the screen refreshes slowly. But with Office 2002, the refresh gets

faster.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Denis

RE: Excel Screen Refresh Problem in Terminal Server

 

One more thing we have observed practically, that when using Excel 2003 on

Windows 2003 Terminal Server, we get Screen Refresh Issue in Excel. Whenever

inserting one or more rows, the screen moves down or refreshes very slowly.

 

But, when using Excel 2003 on Windows 2000 Terminal Server, there is NO

Screen Refresh Issue. When inserting one or more rows in excel sheet, the

screen moves down or refreshes quickly (unnoticeable).

 

Can anybody explain me this? Does anybody have solution to the problem of

Excel 2003 on Windows 2003 Terminal Server?

 

Thanks In Advance.
