[SOLVED] Office 2003 opens Documents very slowly

Hi There!

I'm experiencing some troubles since I installed Office 2003 on my XP pc and on my laptop!

About every 4th or 6th time i try to open a Word document, it takes up to 5 minutes till this document is being opened! I really wonder why & Microsoft couldnt help me til now!

Any tips for me to solve this problems?

EDIT: i have no printers currently installed so it is NOT an problem with any printers...

Re: Office 2003 opens Documents very slowly

So... I just figured out that most Office programs are slowed down by Outlook Journaling, which can be turned off in the Regedit... funny as it is, Outlook journaling also is enabled when u dont even have outlook installed... this has fixed my problems for about 90 %...

thread closed... no help received ;)
