My problem is with??? in MS Office (I tried both Office
97 and Office 2000 (currently left 2000 on it).
Problem: When typing in Word or Excel there is a delay.
Not ALWAYS, but frequently.
Example: If I type "This is a test"; the "This is" types,
then the hour glass pops up for a second or so, then it
will finish the sentance. This is a problem whether you
create a new document or open a new one. In Excel it will
either delay in finishing the word or pause
when "tabbing" between fields. Each time the hour
glass "pops" up for a second or so then back to normal.
There are no delays when working in other programs --
example, IE, Paint, Adobe, Etc.
Background:
I just replaced a Win98 machine with a WinXP home
machine. Everything (Office 97, Our specialized software,
IE and Windows OS) ran fine on the old machine (PII
400MHZ 128RAM 10GB HD). The new machine is a 2GHhz P4,
256RAM, 40GB HD.
At first I thought this was a Hardware issue. Tried
everything: replaced RAM, increased RAM, changing from a
PS2 to USB keyboard (someone thought maybe a bad PS2
port), etc. Went so far as to return the first 2Ghz
machine and replace it with a new one. The 2nd "new"
machine is now doing the exact same thing as the first
one.
The only "major" change besides OS that we can think of
is that the standard monitor was replaced with a 17" Flat
Screen LCD monitor.
Hopefully I have given enough info. Please any help is
appreciated.
