I have a strange problem that i've read a lot of other posts about
similar ones, but the things in those haven't really helped me.
Basically, if I double click an MSWord file, it takes about 1.5
minutes to open Word. First word comes up, then the file comes up some
time later. However if I open word, then open the file, it all happens
very quickly. It's a very strange problem and I can't figure it out (I
know it's not printers as in the MS Knowledgebase), so any suggestions
would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey,

thanks for the reply. I've played around with it, and on occasion
after a reboot it works fine, opens files right away. I have Symantec
Corporate 9.0, and everyone with the issue has the Home Edition... In
many occasions I would disable the auto protect, and the word
documents would still open extremely slowly. For now, i've excluded
*.doc files, and one document just opened quickly. I'll monitor it and
if you guys have any more suggestions that would be great. Thanks a
lot,

Luc Gallant
