working excel files keeping on desktop

[Guest]

Presently I have 45 excel files on desktop of each 2-3 mb size.
I always work with some 4-6 excel files of 2 mb size, cross referring
cutting & pasting from each other. Now for the past 3 days often I get "not
responding" message. Some one can suggest me any thing. My system's guy
installed excel already 5 times, he is tired and tell me that I have problem
in working.

The first thing that comes to mind is you're running out of memory. Find a
group of files that when you open all of them, you get the error. Then
close all of them. Then open them one at a time. If Excel responds
correctly to some but not all then I would say your problem is memory.
If memory is your problem I would look at each file and determine if the
file is bloated. By bloated I mean that Excel thinks your file is larger
than it actually is. This is a common problem. Search these newsgroups for
"large file" or "file too big", etc. Post back if you need more. HTH
