Clicking on first link takes 30 seconds to display in browser
XP Pro SP2
Office 2003 SP2 Problem: Clicking on first link takes 30 seconds to display in browser. I turn off firewall, virus checker, etc.. I open a Word DOC. I click on any link. Status says "Word is preparing to load this document." It takes 30 seconds to load and display in browser (the browser is already open). I click on a second link in the DOC. It instantly comes up in browser. This behavior occurs in all DOCs. Since I turned off firewall, virus checker, etc., why does it take so long to load the first link into the browser? I appreciate any feedback. |

If you cut and paste the address directly into the browser,
it immediately comes up. Therefore, the address is good. This is a problem for the first time you click on a link in any DOC file. The second link you click on comes up quickly. It is unclear why there is such a long delay loading the first link. |

Well, obviously it has something to do with the way your browser "talks" to other programs, such as Winword. Slow links (or not working) are a frequent problem in Outlook Express, and I don't know if you have experienced that too. If you want, you can try the following (it won't do any harm, I guarantee). It's a common remedy for hyperlink problems, and often recommended. Click Start | Run and type: regsvr32 urlmon.dll Then reboot. |

Thanks for the feedback.
However, installing regsvr32 urlmon.dll did not help. You may find this interesting about urlmon.dll http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/lofiv...php/t4358.html I work for a help-desk at a company that has Ad-Aware Pro running at several remote sites. Definitions, etc are handled at the remote locations. Recently, we have had a rash of instances where Ad-Aware/Ad-Watch is removing urlmon.dll. We can put this into the ignore list, but I wanted to try to find out why this is happening. It is frustrating, because several of our applications are dependant of this dll, and if Ad-Aware is going to keep removing it, we are going to have some unhappy callers, etc. If anyone has suggestions or any thoughts, I would appreciate the assistance. Thx. |
