Opening Word, the new doc says, "Document 1 -non-commerical use"

[thedish]

Every time I open a MS program (in Vista) the document pops up with the
following at the top of the document, "Document 1 - non-commerical use only".
Then what ever program I am in (Excel, Power Point, Word, etc) does not run,
it crawls. Has anyone had a similar experience and found a fix? I have a
sense it might have something to do with the language the program is in but
have found not answers there either. Thanks for your assistance.

The "non-commercial use" indicates that you're using the Home &
Student edition of Office. That in itself has nothing to do with
whether it runs slowly. I don't know what you think you mean by "the
language the program is in". The slowness is almost certainly
something about your computer, probably other software that's
installed on it.
