Hi Barry, Could it be your antivirus that is checking your document?

I have 1mb of Ram and a Pentium 4 3.5 processor, which I think should be fast enough to open these files almost instantly. Could it be Google desktop that is slowing it down? I'm using Office 2003 on a XP pro machine with JFW 5.1 pro. If anyone can tell me how to speed this up without un-installing Google, I'd really appreciate it.
