MS Works Slow loading

I don't think there is an obvious answer to your question, but there are a few pointers you might want to check out:

1. Defragment your harddrive, using Defrag or a similar program from another distributor. This will speed up your system file usage in general.

2. Remove any unused fonts installed on your system. Fonts are loaded into memory when works starts up, and the more fonts you have installed on your system, the slower this operation will get.

3. Customize your MS Works installation, removing all parts of the program that you normally don't use, either by deleting the files you don't need, or simply by uninstalling the entire software, and reinstalling only the components you need.

Hope this is helpful, if not, drop me aline with some more information, the information here is a bit scarse, making it hard to figure out what to improve.

I used MS Works for a very short period of time, as the software was included with a new computer. It was the slowest loading program and slowest thinking program. It is also very limited in features and not very compatible with other Office programs. The only reason I can offer is that Bill Gates really wants you to go out and purchase the full suite of Office. Which I did very quickly. It depends on what your needs are but if you want features and speed - drop it fast.
