been getting lots of calls about excel files not opening or taking a very long time mostly over the network. well tracked it down to a windows update. Office File Validation addon. Once I removed this update from add remove programs the problem went away. A client said it took 6 minutes to open up one file, after removing the update it took 2 seconds to open same file..
also if you manually do updates i'd suggest hiding this update so it doesnt get reinstalled and cause problems in the future.. for a fast unistall of the addon at the cmd prompt run the following to remove the update
msiexec.exe /x {90140000-2005-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} /q
worked for me thanks!
