MS Word Very Slow Opening

[Tom]

Hi List,

OfficeXP MS Word on my home pc takes about 35 + seconds just to open to the
main screen. Because Excel, and PowerPoint open immediately
I find Word very slow.

I've made sure I have all latest patches for XP SP1 and loaded the latest SP
for Office XP with no help. I disabled the virus scanning
software thinking that might have something to do with it and scanned for
spyware.. Still did not work.


I'm curious if anyone would know why Word is so slow just to launch. I
thought I've checked all setting that would deal with it.

I'm at a loss and would appreciate any help.


Thanks in advance.

TomS

It looks like you are loading Add-Inns at STARTUP. I suggest look in this folder what files are listed:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Startup

Generally, there should be none but sometimes you may have PDFMaker.dot if you have ADOBE Acrobat Full version. If you have any other files then check in Word what is loaded by:

Tools, Templates & Addins,

This should let you unload the ones which is wasting your time (by unticking them)!. Same technique should be applied with other applications if they are causing any problems. Some Addins contain what is called "Concept Virus" and so these can steal data from you and transmit them eletronically to the author of these scumware. Bank details and the like are the ones they are mostly after but some also steal emails!

Also, it is a good idea not to load any addins unless they are required at
certain times otherwise there is no point.

Hope this helps.

Some Addins contain what is called "Concept Virus" and so these can steal data from you and transmit them eletronically to the author of these scumware. Bank details and the like are the ones they are mostly after but some also steal emails!

Also, it is a good idea not to load any addins unless they are required at
certain times otherwise there is no point.

Hope this helps.

Hi List,

OfficeXP MS Word on my home pc takes about 35 + seconds just to open to the
main screen. Because Excel, and PowerPoint open immediately
I find Word very slow.

I've made sure I have all latest patches for XP SP1 and loaded the latest SP
for Office XP with no help. I disabled the virus scanning
software thinking that might have something to do with it and scanned for
spyware.. Still did not work.

I'm curious if anyone would know why Word is so slow just to launch. I
thought I've checked all setting that would deal with it.

I'm at a loss and would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

It looks like you are loading Add-Inns at STARTUP. I suggest look in this folder what files are listed:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Startup

Generally, there should be none but sometimes you may have PDFMaker.dot if you have ADOBE Acrobat Full version. If you have any other files then check in Word what is loaded by:

Tools, Templates & Addins,

This should let you unload the ones which is wasting your time (by unticking them)!. Same technique should be applied with other applications if they are causing any problems. Some Addins contain what is called "Concept Virus" and so these can steal data from you and transmit them eletronically to the author of these scumware. Bank details and the like are the ones they are mostly after but some also steal emails!
