Since upgrading to XP SP2 and the latest Excel 2003 (SP1, build
11.6355.6360), Excel frequently locks up and takes many minutes to recover.
This generally happens whenever I try to change formatting of cells (i.e.
font size), try to get a print preview, or just save a file after making
changes. I had been giving up on the "not responding" program and killing it
with Task Manager, but find that if I wait long enough (4-5 minutes) Excel
recovers. The files I am editing were built with a previous version of Excel
2003, but I would have thought them to be compatible with the latest version!
Help!!!
 
Try selecting a different default printer in Windows, and see if the problems
persist. If not, then the problem is caused by a damaged printer driver for
your normal printer, and you can probably fix it by deleting and reinstalling
the printer in Start | Control Panel | Printers. Check the printer
manufacturer's website for an updated driver for your printer while you're at
it.
