Are the files you are accessing on a netwrok or local. If on a netwrok, it might be a netwroking issue - DNS perhaps - it may be going through several DNS servers before finding the one telling it where the machine is. Or TCP/IP may not be able to tell it at all, so it resorts to Netbeui...

It is as if someone put a pause for about 45 sec before it proceed again. By the way, I have already done all the regular stuff like antivirus check, adaware, cleanup and defrag, etc. One of the weird thing is that this started happening just about 3 weeks ago and so far, I got close to 5 computers that exhibited this issue. Anyone else have any idea?

When I double click on a .doc or .xls, it will hang for almost a minute then suddenly, either Word or Excel will launch and everything works ok again. But it takes about a minute or two for that to happen. If I open Word first, it opens up quick, and then click file open and select the file, it works just fine. This happen for almost everything including all of MS office program, acrobat and etc. Did I get infected by some kind of a virus?
