Hi Guys:

Do you'll have enough ram? I'm running an old computer, Celeron 667mhz/512mb
ram (the max the motherboard can handle), at idle my system with XP Pro uses
140mb ram, when I launch Word 2003 it goes up to 144mb cpu spike at 6% then
down to 1-2%, on a cable modem, if I lockout modem with ZoneAlarm, ram use
goes to139mb.

I super tuned my system, example: reduced Recycle bin to 1 percent, reduced
Internet Explorer disk space to 300mb and System Restore to 800mb.

I may be barking up wrong tree or maybe it'll work for you. Often adding
fixes increase system load.
Good Luck!
<paul>
