my right click is very sluggish in Word

haskellbob · 12-04-2006, 01:23 PM

I'm using Office 2000 with WIndows XP professional. I had to uninstall Office 2003 because there was a bug in Excel, and then I found I had to uninstall various other related programs before I could get the computer to "accept" Office 2000.

Quite often I'm finding that the right-click function on the mouse is very very slow, like when I want to copy and paste using the right click I have to wait for it to be ready before it works.

Is there any way to speed this function up?

Thanks.

Hi there

Maybe the Office Word is also infected here.
How much memory available do you have i.e. RAM when you open these applications?

How would I find that out?

Start>Run> type: sysdm.cpl and hit enter.

It will list the RAM that it picks up under your processor speed.

Open up Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, enlarge it to fullscreen and then press Alt+Print Scrn.

Next open up any image editor and paste the screenshot. Save it and attach it along here by using the "advanced reply" and scrolling down to click "manage attchments".
