My answer to your problem may be the same as mine but only if you have a home network setup. When you open Office 2003 and try to browse to a file, it takes a long time to respond.
I have a 3 computer home network systems as reduntant systems. From my main computer, I have the other two mapped for access. I normally keep the other two powered down until I need to do backups. Because they are not powered up, Office 2003 searches for the mapped drives. That is what causes the long delay.
I unmapped the other computer drives and Office 2003 reponded very quickly as it should.
If you don't have a netword setup, Office 2003, when browsing to save, there must be something it is try to connect to.
With this info, hope you can solve the problem.
