I am running XP and Word 2003 and to say that starting or closing Word is painfully slow would be an understatement. Anyone got any ideas?

MAtt,

Nope, I have the same combo and it works fine.  Do you have a path to something that Word uses "missing"?

Matt Office 2003 is a serious memory hog. What are your system specs? My rig would slow to a crawl so I went back to my older version of Office!

I have run a Reg Check program that I have and that found no problems. I have checked out a few site about this problem and they point to a possible missing DLL, but that should have been picked up by the checker.

I have 1Gig, I would have thought that would be enough. Unfortunately I have no other versions of Office to go back to.

Have you got a dual language install? E.g. German and English?
