SAVEAS / OPEN very slow
Hello Everyone,
I have Office 2003 with SP2 on my laptop and everytime I go to open a document or SAVEAS a document whenever I click on the dropdown to select the directory where I need to get/save the file my Word/Excell/Outlook freezes for about 30 seconds while it generates the list. I have reset my Normal.dot template but still no luck. I've tried similar OPEN/SAVEAS actions from other programs (such as wordpad/notepad/adobe) and none of them take that longer than 2 seconds to list the directory structure. Can someone please help me? Thanks |

Right-click on the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop,
left-click on Disconnect Network Drive, and disconnect any mapped drives that are not currently available.

Even though this file is in My Documents which is mapped to c:\documents and
setting\xxxx\my documents and not on the Network drives? Adrian "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote in message ...

That's correct. The problem you're having isn't with your file or where the
file is stored; it's in how Word is looking for the location. You said it yourself: Word has to generate that list. And if there'a mapped network drive that's not actually there, then Word has to wait for it to time out. And that can take a while.
