word opens slowly

D

I'm running windows xp (media center) and office 2000 on
an HP Pentium 4 2.80GHz with 512 MB RAM. Whenever I open
word documents it takes about 60+ seconds for them to
appear. This slowness occurs only when I open the
documents. When I open Word directly, the application
opens immediately. I uninstalled Norton AV & now run
Mcafee (disabled the internet filter). The problem
cleared up for a while but later returned. Any
suggestions? Thanks, Del

Try reregistering Word by using Start, Run and typing in...

winword /r

and press enter. Nothing appears to happen but Word is registered again.
