Office 2007 lockups

[Robert Robinson]

My company is beginning the process of converting from Office 2003 - 2007. I
was one of the test group of about 10 users...the ironic thing is that I am
one of very few that have NOT encountered lockup issues. My laptop has 2.19
Ghz and 2GB RAM with a 111GB HDD. From what I have seen, most of the others
have similar setups in their laptops/desktops, but they are experiencing
lockups in various programs (from Outlook to Word to Excel). Two questions:

1) What are the TRUE minimum requirements for a machine?
2) Has anyone else experienced these lockup issues? How are they being
resolved?

Are you running some realtime file scanning anti-virus product with
"Office add-in" features? If so, disable that feature.

I will check, but I do not believe so. Reason that I say that is because our
software, security, etc are applied by our IT on a corporate basis (to all
machines in equal measure), and because I am not having the issues that
others are, though I am one of the more active users and spend a lot of time
in the apps...
