Slow Drop Down Boxes.

[Paul Williams]

Hello,

Can anyone help please?

When using Office 2000 applications the drop down boxes
(File, Edit, View etc) take an age to appear when I click
on them. The Drop Down boxes on other applications such
as Internet Explorer appear instantaneously. This is
getting to be a pain as, for example, if i want to 'save
as' an Excel spreadsheet, I click on 'File' and the list
slowly appears - It can take up to 6 seconds. When I open
the Windows task manager and open the 'performance' tab,
I notice that when I click on 'File' in Excel the CPU
usage goes to 100% - This can't be right.

Regards

P Williams
