I have office 2007 on my laptop but when i open a saved file it takes ages to open any one any ideas
 
What are your system specifications? Which Windows version and how much RAM mainly? Does Windows still boot at a reasonable speed?

Do you use Hibernate/Standby much? If so have you tried a regular full reboot?
 
i know office 2007 was slow before sp1 on all my pcs anyway, after sp1 lighting fast :)
 
Run defrag. MS makes a mess out of my disk slowing things down after SP's and major patches. LAPTOPs have slow disks so it is even more pronounced.

And is this an XP or VISTA machine.
 
Even more worse if indexing is enabled (by default on Vista, manually on XP).

Don't get me wrong, indexing has it's place. On my old workhorse I do have indexing enabled because I have a lot of old crap and my folder hierarchy is so complicated sometimes it's not fully intuitive.
 
i always turn off search and indexing on vista, if i want to find something i look in the 4 folders i put stuff, music, pictures, videos, docs :p
 
What is your antivirus? Does it open quickly for blank files? Might be something trying to scan the files before opening them.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
