Re: Slow load times for Office 2004

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Chris:

Where are the users' home directories?

When it starts, Word needs to open 30-odd different files, and it stores a
whole lot of user information (such as the Font Cache) in the user's local
account.

If it is having to round-trip to the authentication server to get permission
to open these resources, then it will be slow.

If the user's previous session is not available, Word has to build all of
its caches each time, and that will be slow.

Hope this helps

Does Word display "Rebuilding font cache" when you launch it??


I have not seen it say this. There has been no changing of fonts.
These computers are used by students, who are limited users and I
don't think they have rights to change fonts. The only time that the
fonts have been messed with was when I did it as listed above. Even
my test users have this problem and there has been no changes made to
them since the beginning of the year when in worked a little better.
Thanks.
