    MS Excel 2007 in MacBook in Vista

    I'm using Excel in a MacBook Pro (17", NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT, and 4GB RAM) the OS of which is Vista.

    Everytime I stop working for a few minutes (even when I pause for less than 2 minutes), I find Excel frozen when I resume working. It takes about 1 minute or so (which feels like eternity) after I click in order for it to let me work.

    I have checked the power management facility and it is OK.

    Any suggestions please?

    Serves you right for using vista....

    jk lol! (I know I'm hilarious)

    Anyway, have you updated your office to the latest patch? Are you by any chance running the sp1 beta? Do you have your laptop connected to a power source? And is this the only program that does this?
