Slow loading workbooks because of date.

I have 7 computers running various versions of Windows,
all using Office XP that are having problems opening
Excel spreadsheets.

If I open Excel first, then open a document, it's slow.
If I double click a document to open it, it's slow.

If I disconnect the machine from the network, it seems
slightly faster.

If I change the date on the machine to YESTERDAY'S date,
it's MUCH faster.

It appears to be happening when Excel attempts
to "Request Virus Scan" while opening a document.

Any ideas?
 
Hi Lee,

I experienced the same thing yesterday *after* my NIS auto-
updated. I have NAV set to scan Office on open. When this
happened, my XL hung on the open scan. To temporarily
correct the situation you need to disable the option in
NAV to scan MS Office plug-ins. I think that there was/is
a problem with the NIS recent update. I contacted Symantec
and am awaiting a response. There are several posts
regarding this situation.

Biff
