Excel and Access files slow to open

Myself and some other network users are experiencing slow opening of Excel files. While it's mainly Excel, I've noticed that I have the same issue with Access. The excel files are not large in size. The slow opening is the same regardless of whether there is content in the cells.

 

Troubleshooting steps performed so far include: creating a new profile and running a repair on Office. Neither step has resolved the issue. Anything else to try?

How long is a string sort of statement.. So they are 10KB or 10MB?  Best to give context when you say something is not large..

 

Are the users wifi or wired, what speed?  So they have no issues with speed if they copy the file to their local system.  Is it then slow to open even when on local file system of the users machine?  How fast is copy of file take?  Non excel or access file?

Might help if we know what version of office your using and what OS your on, etc. ;)  Above is example of 2003 office when OFV was installed caused some issues - so really need to know more details to even guess what could be the problem.

    • AMD preps Ryzen 9600X3D for those who want a taste of the fastest gaming CPU for cheap

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD preps Ryzen 9600X3D for those who want a taste of the fastest gaming CPU for cheap by Sayan Sen AMD desktop processors are available across two platforms: socket AM4 and socket AM5. Both of these sockets are still going pretty strong, and the company is offering deals and discounts for both as it continues to release new SKUs for its older platform. For example, the company launched an affordable X3D processor for AM4 this month with the new 5500X3D. These gaming CPUs from AMD have been a massive success, as both AM4 and AM5 X3D chips are quite popular among gamers, and for good reason, too. They are fast, very fast. The massive chunk of vertical 3D stacked last-level cache (LLC) Level 3 cache helps these processors a ton in scenarios such as gaming. In our Ryzen 9 9950X3D review, we saw that 300+ frames per second are possible depending on the game title. While we did not review the 8-core 9800X3D, it has been found to be even slightly faster than the 9950X3D and is currently the most powerful gaming CPU on the planet. The Ryzen 9 9800X3D is selling these days for around $440-$500, and that may still be out of budget for many users. As such, similar to the 5600X3D, which is a 6-core 5000X3D processor cut down from the 8-core 5800X3D, AMD is planning to launch a hexacore Ryzen 5 9600X3D that will have two cores disabled compared to the 9800X3D. The information has been uncovered from the recent system integrator (SI) graphics driver for the recently launched Radeon AI PRO R9700 discrete GPU. The driver (Windows SI Driver for Radeon AI PRO R9700, Version 25.10.13.01) confirms the existence of 9600X3D as well as a 9600 non-X SKU and several other Ryzen PRO 9000 CPUs. The full list of upcoming CPUs is given below: Ryzen 5 9600X3D Ryzen 5 9600 AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 9945 Ryzen 7 PRO 9745 Ryzen 5 PRO 9645 Ryzen 5 PRO 9400 In terms of specs, the core configuration of the 9600X3D will be identical to the Ryzen 9600X and 9600, barring things like clock speeds. However, the six-core X3D will have a lot more L3 cache at 96 MB vs 32 MB on the 9600X and 9600. There is no information on pricing at the moment. Source: AMD (spotted by Mellodic Warrior on X)

      With the dwindling number of TV license payers the BBC has to look for alternative avenues for income.
    • Microsoft is removing legacy drivers from Windows Update

      Bet they remove some sound card, wifi and bluetooth drivers that are still used today in some prebuilts. Seen some very old drivers still being used for those components. Printers can be bad also with very outdated but still working drivers.

    • New leak shows the design of the upcoming Nothing Headphone (1)

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      New leak shows the design of the upcoming Nothing Headphone (1) by David Uzondu We've been hearing about the Nothing Headphone (1) for a while now, and it looks like we finally have our first real look at the headphones. In a new series of images leaked by @nothing_fan_blog on Instagram, the self-proclaimed "official German Nothing Fanpage", we can see Nothing's first over-ear headphones out in the wild. You definitely will not mistake these for anything else on a store shelf. The design has the company's signature see-through aesthetic, with a transparent oval piece on top of a solid rectangular base on the earcups, with three physical buttons for controls. Image via @nothing_fan_blog The headphones are set to launch alongside the Phone (3), which itself is getting rid of the glyph interface that made the company's phones stand out in the first place. It is a bit interesting seeing the new headphones establishing a strong visual identity while the flagship phone abandons its own. There is good news for anyone who values a wired connection for audio quality, as one of the images confirms the presence of a 3.5mm headphone jack. On the other hand, a close-up of the headband shows no visible folding hinges, which could be a minor inconvenience for some people, especially travelers. Image via @nothing_fan_blog As for colors, the leaks reveal both a white and black version. There's reportedly a gray option, but the leaked images did not show that. The more interesting part is the price, which is rumored to come in around $299 in the US and €299 in Europe. This would place the Headphone (1) in a very aggressive position, undercutting top-tier options from Sony and Bose by a significant margin. To compete, they will have to pack in the usual like Active Noise Cancellation. The sound quality also needs to be excellent, so let's hope the previously announced partnership with British audio company KEF works out well. We still don't have other details like battery life or specific driver information. Full details are expected at the official launch event, happening on July 1.
