Hi, I have got a new Sony Vaio Notebook (following a burglary), with Windws
Vista Home Premium (32-bit) and have reinstalled Microsoft Office 2007
(Professional), which I had been using on my previous computer.

However, Word is performing so incredibly painfully slowly. It opens fine,
but when I type, it is taking such a long time for the typing to appear. I
am a reasonably fast typist, and Word seems to be at least a few sentences
behind me. It is incredibly frustrating!

I never had this problem previously, and was then also running Vista and
Office 2007. So I am not sure if it is a computer problem or a hardware or
software problem??

From the research I have done so far on the internet, I have found notes
about Word 2007 running slowly when McAffee Security Centre is on the
computer. I have even tried downloading and running the appropriate Hotfix,
but this has made no difference at all. (On my old computer, I was running
Norton, and this is the only significant difference between the 'before' and
'now'.)

Has anyone else had this problem, or know of anything else I can try? It is
pretty much driving me crazy everytime I try and use Word!

Thanks,
Kylie



Thanks,

If you believe that McAffee is the problem, does it have an Office plug-in?
If it does, turn it off. Or get rid of McAffee and use something that does
work eg AVG - http://free.avg.com/download-avg-ant...s-free-edition, but
don't install the Office document checking option.
