Word 2003 Hangs slightly at open.
Word has always had a double type opening characteristic. When you open Word
the normal.dot opens with the top part of the toolbars. Between the two I can see my Desktop backgroud for a short period. Then the toolbars open. This is only for about a second or two at first open. If I close and then reopen it is faster but still notice the double opening. Is this normal for Word 2003, do not notice it in word 2000? Also, once I got highspeed internet connection, the first time I opened Word it hung between the Normal.dot for a good 3 - 5 seconds, then opened the toolbars. Closed and reopened, did it again, but not quit as long. Restarted, tried again, back to 3 - 5 seconds. I did do a lot of Windows XP Critical Updates, Mcafee Updates, Installation of a new Mcafee pop-up/addblocker, and defragmentation after my new internet connection along with some Office 2003 updates (one of them a smart tag update) all before opening word. Never this long of a pause between Normal.dot and toolbars. There was no program error or program hang error reported, even in event monitor, during this timeframe. However, did have Mcafee notify me that Word wanted to access the internet, which I blocked access too, on the first attempt at opening Word. This behavior has been improving throughout the day but really strange. Never noticed this with dial up connection, whether connected or not. My question is what caused this and is it indicative of Word being corrupted in some way? Any info would be appreciated. -- KM1 |
