Slow Access of Word 2000
LockedWhen I select Word 2000 from my start menu, it takes a good 20 seconds to load. I feel that this is too long! By total time, I mean from the moment I select Word until it is fully operational. This is AFTER clipit comes sliding down the slope on his bicycle, jumps off it, changes to a paper clip, and begins to smile at you with large eyes. Before all this happens, Word is unusable!
My System:
Dell Pentium III T600r
128 MB RAM
20.4 GB Hard Drive
Iomega 250 Zip Drive
Sony CR-RW 8x/4x/32x
Norton Anti Virus
@Home Internet Service
NVIDIA 320v Sound Card
Windows 98 SEI have tried the Detect and Repair twice but that did not work. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Word but to no avail! In addition, I have deleted notmal.dot. That did not hwelp either!
How can I decrease to access time from 20 seconds to a more acceptable six or seven?
Dell’s tech support is of no help. They admit that Word should load faster but they are out of ideas.Please, I am ever so new to computing,
