Hi all, I had to buy a new laptop because in the old one the Lcd screen get broken.

I use it for work so I have bought a very good one, with large screen and high performances, but there is Windows Vista installed (In the old one there was xp).

The problem is that if I run the same macro in both the pc the new one is 9 time more slow than the old one: the old pc took 10 second and the new one 90.

I have tried with program for benchmark calculation and the new pc has been very fast.

I have only got problem with the macro but it simply orders a list with 9000 rows and 8 columns.

I have reinstalled office and the sp1 but nothing.

The problem is that this excel file will grow up but I can't downgrade to xp for driver and warranty problem.

Does anyone know why vista is so slow using the macro and how can I fix it?

Thank you very much

Check for garbage programs that might be installed and startup withsystem

was too slow again... also new

have you checked those garbages? Many times these ready made PC/Laps comes with garbage of softs and you need to uninstall them manually. If you want to make it easy: Use revo uninstaller for free or Uninstaller! 2006 for $

To disable things upon start up, follow these instructions.

Thanks,

Or you can use Revo Uninstaller. It hav Got special feature for startup. Also Anvir Task manager should be able to do it
