Word & Excell take long, long time to open and load documents!

Opening word and loading documents takes longer by order
of magnitude, just started happening yesterday. Same for
Excell.

Also I noticed that Norton SystemWorks takes very, very
long time to launch.

I did uninstall and install Office and Norton today.

Any help will be appreciated.

Did you update Norton yesterday? Uncheck the Office Plug-in from NortonAV.
Given the traffic on usenet about this it seems there is a bug in a recent
Norton update.

Graham,

Thanks for the advice, it works great. Do you think that
I need to enable plug in again after Norton fixes the bug?

I did update Norton yesterday.

Thanks again!
Joe

Definitely not! It does nothing useful.

Yes, I have been having the exact problem and it started 1/7. Add Access to the list of problems. I tried rebooting and noticed that there was an application that was not closing properly (accApp)? In any event, your solution worked and thank you. However, I too am wondering if it should be reactivated some time after the fix is available?
