MS Word 2007 Incredibly Slow Start Up Time
I just bought my new laptop a few months ago and along with it came a trial
version of MS Office 2007. Since the software I most frequently use is MS Word, I was pretty excited about the whole new interface and upgraded functions. The problem I'm experiencing is that when I double-click on the Word 2007 icon on the desktop, it takes a good 3-4 minutes to actually open the software. My own two possible explanations for this weird disfunction are 1) because my laptop also came with MS Works WordProcessor (which does not have all the functions I need and does not allow me to copy and paste ANY length of the document from the web: almost useless) OR 2)because I'm using a trial version which expires in about a month. I haven't been able to boldly delete the MS WORKS program as a whole because I was afraid that Word 2007 wouldn't work properly EVEN after that and I would be suddenly without any tool for word processing. Any suggestions or possible explanation for this problem? I would really appreciate it. Thanks for taking time to read this. |

MS Word 2007 Incredibly Slow Start Up Time
I would take a hard look at your Antivirus software. Norton in particular
feels the need to perform antivirus duties on the opening of every document including the blank one that is created upon opening of Word.
