Ever since I did the last Office update (that security fix thing) my Mac has
slowed to a crawl -- only with MS products open. Final Cut Pro, Photoshop
and all the Mac apps run fine but when an MS app opens, everything slows,
especially the MS apps. It took Word 1:30 to open! It took :25 to close
the blank document Word created on opening. Entourage is almost as slow.
When I scroll the window, my mail actually seems to read on line by line,
like seeing a picture download with a dialup connection.
I tried repairing permissions. That took hours and hours but it finally
finished and things were OK for a while. Now, I'm getting back to where I
was. Word took twenty-five seconds to open just now. As I type, the words
lag behind by a second or two. It's very difficult to work like this. I
write for a living so this is just devastating to me! Please help!
I've got a dual 1G Mac with 1.5G of RAM.
