RE: problem opening excel-word-access (office files in general ) double clicking in Windows Explorer

Hi Fran,

Check the following points to see if it is helpful.

#1 Temp disconnect from the network. Double click an Office file to open it. What is the result? If it works fine, go to My Computer >
click the Tools menu > Disconnect network drive > if there is any network drive, disconnect it. Test the issue again.

#2 Check the folder setting
============
1. Open My Computer.
2. Click Tools menu > Folder Options > go to View tab > uncheck the option "automatically search for network folders and printers "
3. Click OK.

Try to double click a Word document to see if everything works fine.

#3 Come into Windows Safe mode to test the issue
============
To come into Windows safe mode, please follow the steps below:
Windows safe mode: All the third-party software and the unnecessary hardware driver (such as video card, network card¡­) is disabled.

1. Restart your computer
2. Keep press F8, until the screen "Windows Advanced Options Menu" appears.
3. Press "Up arrow" in the keyboard to select "Safe Mode", press "Enter"

4. Double click an Office file to test the issue and let me know the result.

#4 Install all available updates for your Antivirus/Firewall program on the appropriate website. Search for the file OfficeAV.dll on your
computer (also search in the hidden files/folders). If you find it, temp rename it as officeav.old to test the issue.

Perform the above steps and let me know the result. If anything is unclear or if you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to
contact me.

Hi,


My computer was working correctly until last week, but suddenly I had a
problem when double clicking office files from Windows Explorer.

If I click any office file in WIndows Explorer (local or in a network
location) it takes about 30 seconds to open.

If I open Word, Excel or access and then click on 'open file' and select a
file, it opens instantly.

What I have tried so far:
-run 'winword /r' and 'excel /register' with no success
-repaired office


Any other kind of file is opened instantly (jpg, txt, ...).

My computer is a PIV3,2 GHz, 1 GByte Ram, so performance is not an issue.


Thanks in advance for your answer.
