Conflict with Nov 11 2009 Excel 2003 Security Update (KB973593)
I am working on a large size Excel file with Macro enabled. The file is quiet heavy and takes time to load. When I use to work on the same before, the screen flickers. That was acceptable as I can keep on working on the same. Now after getting fresh updates I cannot work on it. The update has created more issue in Excel. The screen flashes a number of time and the file responds too slowly. It looks like the update was not at all compatible with my Office edition. After removing the same things went back to fine. The file works properly. It looks the update is buggy or there is some issue with that. Any thoughts.

I am trying to make all updates proper. But it is almost 4 days yet thing are not fix. We have 5 systems at our office which are updated through Windows Server. I do know when the update was installed automatically causing Microsoft office to perform poorly. I had removed the same from some, but still is common. We had a number of excel sheet linked with each other. When a user click on one, the other one opens. The update cause strange behaviour on all files. But in two computers the update did not created any issue. This was a bit weird to know.
Re: Excel 2003 - KB973475 crash
Thanks so much for these posts. I have most of my spreadsheets linked to other sheets using simple '=' formulas. Recently, while linking, Excel 2003 would crash. I just uninstalled update KB973475, and Excel no longer crashes when I link a cell to another spreadsheet.
Now to get the IT folks at work to uninstall KB973475 update - that might take an executive order. Hopefully, MS will fix these problems, but it seems they are still just gathering information instead of fixing.
