.xls & .doc open speed are intermittent, and it also happen with opening the same document as well. Sometime it takes less than a second to open the doc other times it takes as long as 10 second. I have check the network & services processes and it is not taxing the cpu, ram nor hdd.

It is the third time the boss is telling me about it (he is getting annoyed), but I couldn?t figure it out. Reinstall Office97 & apply latest version of SR-2 (Sr2bof97.exe) patch doesn?t help.

1.1 ghz Athlon
384 megs ram
40 gb hdd with plenty of space left (1 gb is set for paging)

Please help!

Clean out Windows\Temp directory.
Open files links kill Office 97 responsiveness.

Save all Files with SAVE AS.
Saving the files this way removes all past editing from the file.
