GDI leakage in Excel 2007

[JPyle]

Using the Task Manager I have been tracking down why my PC slows or locks
during the day. I have discovered that anytime that I leave Excel open with
or without a worksheet the GDI Object count slowly grows a few Objects at a
time. There are other applications running at the same time but only Excel is
taking all of the GDI object resources.

I am having the same problem. Are you using the Bloomberg add-in by any
chance?

I've got two users with this issue (Not Enough resources to display) and they both have the Bloomberg add-in.

I just discovered something. It looks like it may not be related to
Bloomberg. I only have the problem when when I have both: worksheet
protection enabled AND have the "Home" tab selected. If I either turn off
protection OR have another ribbon tab selected (such as "Insert"), the GDI
leak stops. If I have the Bloomberg add-in disabled, the same result.

Please write back and let me know if you have the same results.

Was this resolved?

Hi, We have noticed the same issue in our environment - did you ever resolve this?

I've been trying for months to solve this problem. Did anyone ever find a
cure?

The only way we could fix it was to reinstall the entire operating system
using a Dell resotration disk. We tried to reinstall just Office but that
didn't work. Good luck.
