I have been using Office Xp for about a year now and have
just started having issues with Excel. When I open an
excel document, the screen flickers almost like a macro
or something is running in the background But i dont use
them. Ihave tried re-patching and disabled the error
checking. I am running Windows Xp on a 2.4 gig machine
with 512 memory

Any ideas what I can check?

Thanks in advance

I'd verify that there aren't any macros running by:

close excel
start excel in safe mode
windows start button
Run
Excel /safe

Then file|open your workbook.

Does it still happen?

If yes, then I don't have a guess.

But if no, maybe there's a workbook in your XLStart folder or an addin under
Tools|addins that's "helping" you.
