Windows Explore won't open Office Files

When I use Windows Explorer to try and open files that are associated
with Office applications...it hangs. Word docs open after about 90 sec
but Excel files never open but Excel start, again after about 90 sec.
PDF and other files open OK. Directly opening office apps from direct
shortcuts still works OK.

Embedded links to Office docs have also stopped working. I did an
Office Repair...Office Pro 2003 and ran spybot, ad-aware, and HiJack
this and it did not fix things. Don't know if this is an office issue
or an explorer issue and if this is even the right forum.

Unlike another poster, my explorer does not grab all the processor
cpu's...it just is not acting normally...this is a three day old
series of events so whatever happened just happened..and nothing
unusual occurred.

Any thoughts??
