Slow start up times...

D

Dorian Mattar

Word, Excel & PowerPoint, all display the same issue and although
Entourage doesn't appear to have it, it does load up slow.

Here is the issue: When opening the apps, the apps load fast enough,
BUT ARE NOT ready for imput for about 5 seconds after you see the empty
document. So I have to wait and wait until either I can type in Word
or Click on any of the cells in Excel. The same happens in PowerPoint
where I can't start to do anything. I have a Menu Meters installed and
I can see the two CPUS going pretty high while this is happening. All
together it takes Excel 15 seconds to boot and 24 secs for Word!!! If
I type random letter into Word while I'm waiting for the cursor to
become active, once it finishes doing whatever it is that it's doing,
all the letters will finally appear.

any ideas? This only happens at this computer. I've seen iBooks
loading Office x2 as fast as this computer and this computer is running
Dual 1Ghz G4s with 1.5 of Ram.

I know the ram on the new machines is faster, but I have a 867 mhz Ti
PowerBook at home that is faster and does not show any of the symptoms
that Offices shows here.

I have done a complete install of the machine from scratch just to make
sure it wasn't something in the system.
If I create a new user, it works ok for the first run and then it
starts doing the same thing.

I have repaired permission, defraged the drive, etc.., etc....

HELP!
