Re: Home & Student opens slow.

That's still too slow. How quickly does it open in Safe Mode? From Start, Run, type in

winword /a

and press enter. Does that open fast?

See the following FAQ for help diagnosing this problem.

..oop's! Forgot to install drivers and set default and to update everything!
Did all this and everything seems fine now; Word still a little slow to
open, about 50 to 60 seconds, but I can live with that. Thanks Terry!
I sure am glad all us newusers have all you great MVP's to help us out or
else we would still be pushing a pencil back in the Dark Ages!
Thank's again!

Is this a clean install or upgrade? Have you installed a local printer
driver and set as Windows default? Is everything up to date (OS and
drivers)?
