MS Word/Excel/Powerpoint freezes momentarily when a Menu function is called
Hello Experts, Please help me with following situation.
When I am running any MS Office Suite product, Word, Excel etc. and need to call a function from the Menu i.e. Save, Open, or any other function from the Menu, the program freezes for upto 2 minutes. It consumes all my CPU resources during this time. I pwd protected an excel file, but had to cancel it because everytime I tried to open the file I had to wait for minutes which was killing my tempo.
Information:
Windows XP Home with SP2
Intel Cel 2 Ghz
512RAM - that is max for this system :(
MS Office products are 2002
Thanks.

I recommend using CCleaner and cleaning up old stuff on your computer. Uninstall any uneeded/unwanted programs. Check the registry with CCleaner. Do a defrag and a virus scan. Clear cookies and cache in IE. Delete everything in the StartUp menu in the Start Menu. Set your virtual memory to twice the size of your ram (min and max should be the same). Reboot.
These are some things you can do to clean up and hopefully speed up your computer. Office takes up a lot of memory so there is nothing you can really do about that.

Also, if after all of this you are still getting hung up and your virus scan returned no results...you can reinstall office.
