I am using Microsoft Word 2002. It takes almost 45 seconds for the program to
load and almost half that time for the program to shutdown. This happens
whether Word is the only program runing or several programs are in
background. I have ample memory and other Microsoft programs work fine. I
have scanned my system for virus and spyware infections and have a clean
system. Word works fine once it is up and running. The lengthy startup and
shutdown however are a hassle. This problem doesn't exist quite as bad on my
laptop. I don't notice this proglem on the network computers in the office.
Word has been on this computer for about one year. The problem exists for
quite some time but not when first installed. Any ideas?
