Nothing on that site is helpful or applicable. It takes about 35-50
seconds to open or shud down. When try to close and click the X at right
top, the white page dissappears in about 3 seconds but windows labours for
another 30. Same with when I open word, the white page comes up, it does
not accept any typing for another 30-40 seconds

Try clearing your Local Setteings\Temp folder and see if that helps,

Hi Brian - Suzanne........thank you for suggestion

So far I have reset Registry keys
re-installed the print drivers
Reset word to default setting
plus general cleanup and defrag

I am now down to Opening of approx 8 -10 seconds from 35-40
and closing at approx 5 - 7 seconds from 35 - 40

Compared to other systems this is still not optimum..........

What do you think, shud I leave it at this.??????????????

My friends word snaps on instantly....I have tried 3 others and they are all
faster.

tks a bunch..silvana
