    2000 Word & excel files open slow
    « on: August 03, 2010, 06:20:11 PM »
    HALP!  My 2000 word & excel files take 30-70 seconds to open.  Sometimes I need to close and try again before they will open at all.  Sometimes, not always I get an error message stating that the file is a read only!  I've cleaned the computer with Spybot, deleted cookies to no avail.  However, a new word or excel opens within 10-15 seconds.  Please help a retiree.  I may not have a lot time left!  ;D
