Excel 2008 hanges when deleting cells or rows

Anyone know of a problem with Excel 2008 hanging when deleting?
I have a large spreadsheet with all my banking history in it
Today after doing a statement download to a .csv and then cutting and
pasting into the spreadsheet I tried to delete a few repeated lines
and got an hourglass. Eventually I had to kill off Excel.
I repeated the cut and paste then did the same delete and had exactly
the same problem. deleting just a single cell does the same.
Next time I saved after the paste, shut down Excel and restarted
again, same problem.
I can navigate around the sheet OK, edit cells OK, but as soon as I
try a delete it hangs.
The file was Excel 2003 format but I then saved it as 2007 format but
still have the same problem.
It only happens in one tab of the spreadsheet, not in any of the
others.
Its basically just numbers formatted to 2 decimal places and some
simple additions. No macros, no complex formlae and only 8 clums woide
by a few hundred deep.
Any ideas?

What add-ins have you got loaded?
Also if you have the Google toolbar (and probably others) installed that
can kill Excel 2007 performance.
