MS-Excel 2007 takes too long to open a file
I'm using XP pro and Excel-2007. Recently switched to Office 2007 (from Office 2003) and have the following problem when opening any Excel file:
When I try to open an Excel file, MS-Excel starts right away but it takes while (MUCH LONGER as compared with Excel-2003) before the file opens/gets displayed. BTW, I do not have any add-ins enabled.
Can anyone please help me solve this problem?

Approx how long is MUCH LONGER? Is it closer to 8 to 10 seconds or two minutes?
If you Save As and select Excel 97-2003 format do you have the same problem?

Well a friend of my has an old and MUCH slower PC but he does not face the same problem. I have Core 2 Duo processor (1.80 Ghz.) and 2 GB RAM.

I'd say it takes about 20 seconds.
Answer to your 2nd question: Yes the same problem if I save as Excel 97-2003.
BTW, I was reading somewhere that if I install SP2 for Office, that will solve problems.
I also came across the following:
This is so frustrating. Not sure what I should do. Why doesn't Microsoft put out a new version only after they have tested it for at least 2 years. Will flip a coin a give one of these a try (starting with the simple one first).

Problem Solved (I think)
We'll I downloaded to install SP2 for Office2007 but decided to search one last time before installing the SP2.
Luckily I came across a solution (shared below for benefit of all members) and the solution basically boiled down to deleting PERSONAL.XLS. Please see details below:
Background: The new XLSTART folder for Office 2007 is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\XLSTART But, if you upgraded from a previous version, there may still be a personal macro workbook called “PERSONAL.XLS” located in the old location: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
Fix: To correct the delayed file opening problem, just delete the old PERSONAL.XLS file
