Macro and Vista

Macro and Vista

Postby Danthon on Sun Dec 14, 2008 7:00 pm

Hi all, I had to buy a new laptop because in the old one the Lcd screen get broken.

I use it for work so I have bought a very good one, with large screen and high performances, but there is Windows Vista installed (In the old one there was xp).

The problem is that if I run the same macro in both the pc the new one is 9 time more slow than the old one: the old pc took 10 second and the new one 90.

I have tried with program for benchmark calculation and the new pc has been very fast.

I have only got problem with the macro but it simply orders a list with 9000 rows and 8 columns.

I have reinstalled office and the sp1 but nothing.

The problem is that this excel file will grow up but I can't downgrade to xp for driver and warranty problem.

Does anyone know why vista is so slow using the macro and how can I fix it?

Thank you very much

Yesterday I installed Vista Ultimate on my desktop. Everything seems fine EXCEPT that Vista does not recognize that I have a modem in the computer.

I use Comcast for my phone service which I believe is actually a Vongage connection or something similar. After switching to Comcast phone service, I discovered that I can no longer use the modem for fax service with my previous operating system (XP Pro.) I have no need for modem dial-up service so I guess I could just remove the PCI modem from the computer and be done with it. I hate getting error messages every time I boot and that's what I'm getting now with Vista.

When I ran Vista Advisor before installing, the only problem it pointed out was my scanner (which will not work with Vista and Epson is NOT going to make a Vista driver for it.)

I would think Vista would have no problem coming up with a generic driver for a straight fax modem. Anyone else have a problem with their modem not showing up in Hardware with Vista installed?
