header says it all. it takes almost 30 seconds to start Word because of this
promt. why? none of the other programs seem to have this issue, even within
Office. i just recently installed 2003, and word was the only one from 2000
that was previously installed. would that make any difference? its not a
hardware issue, this is a very fast unit.

Since you haven't received a reply to this, yet, you should try asking in the
office.setup newsgroup. A specialist there might have an idea or two.
