Would anyone know what would cause my microsoft word 2000 program to hang up everytime I go to open a new or old document. On the word program, I will click to open a doc and it takes about three minutes for it to fully open. I have to sit and wait. Does not happen with other programs. Thanks, christy p.s. Already did updates on it. -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
