Office 2007 trial is very slow. Is this because it's a trial

[rtappan]

I just started using the trial version of Office 2007. It takes forever for
it to open on my computer but Office 2003 opens just fine. Is this just
because it's a trial or is it naturally slow because of the additional
features?

It's likely due to the expanded feature set and increased hardware
requirement over Office 2003.

Hard disk nearly full? Less than 1 meg of RAM? That could be the
problem. I have both Office 2007 and 2003 installed on my computer and
can't notice any difference in startup time between the versions.
