1. Word opens quickly in both normal startup and Safe Mode. That has never
been a problem.

2. I dont use NAV but rather Kaspersky.

3. When Word (both XP and 2007) transfers at only about 200 kbps, and other
data files like Pictures and Music transfer at about 19 mbps, Id say that is
not a USB problem but rather a Word or Vista problem.

4. When the system runs out of memory transferring a mere 662 MB of Word
files (XP and 2007) but does not do so when transferring 3.2 GB of Picture
files, Id say that is not a USB problem but rather a Word or Vista problem.

5. When there is a four second lockup switching from any program to Word (XP
and 2007) but not among other programs, Id say that is a Word or Vista
problem.

If anyone else has any comments, or has experience with similar issues, I
would appreciate your assistance.
