RE: Slow loading when inserting pictures

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Trevor,

It could be many things. It could be the size of the document, your network
server, a lot of things. You will have to knock out each possible way to
find out what the cause is. What I would do is first perform Detect and
Repair… option inside Word and on the Help menu. Then I would close all open
documents that I have open except for a blank new sheet from Word. Then go
to Insert Picture, but I would choose a very, very small picture, in
addition, I would first open that picture and save it to your Desktop. If
nothing else is running, i.e. Outlook, or other software and it is still
hanging, I would install more RAM. If you need help on how to install RAM,
reply to this asking for info and I will provide it. Now if the extra RAM
does not solve the problem, and you inserted this picture from your Desktop,
there is a problem with your PC. There could be all kinds of things running
in the “background.” Like spy ware and stuff like that. If you need
suggestions on this, just ask. If you have run spy ware cleaners, virus
cleaners, installed more RAM, and you are still not trying to do this from a
network, and the problem still persists. I would take you computer to a
professional or have them come to you.

Good luck and post your progress.

Mike
