Files open up very slowly

H

One of our users is running Windows XP, sp2, office 2003 sp2. When trying to
open up a document by doubleclicking, on or off of network, it takes two
minutes to open. Even if it is a text file with "this is a test" only in the
file. When I launch the application first (and it opens up fine) and then
open the document from there, then it is ok.

When I disconnect the the network cable, then it opens up fine. When I
connect the network cable then it takes two minutes to open up the file.

I thought it might be that previously the office was being launched from the
network instead of the hard drive, which was not the case but to be on the
safe side I uninstalled the office and installed it again.

Logging in the network is fine and quick. The files that we are trying to
open are not even on the network. They are on the local drive.

Any ideas? Thank you.
