Accessing a folder to save to is taking too long. Help

[Guest]

When I am working in Word or PowerPoint I am finding that there is hang time
before I can access a folder to save a file to. This is what I do and where
the problem lies: I go to “File†then to “Openâ€. When the Open screen comes
up the dropdown list is set to “My Documentsâ€. When I click on the dropdown
arrow, there is a significant lag time before I get to see my folder tree.
Eventually I am able to see the folder tree but this is a new problem and
it’s a pain. Any help would be appreciated. I already tried reinstalling
Office 2003 with no luck. I am using Microsoft Office 2003 & Windows XP
Professional .

Thanks

disconnect any mapped drives that are not currently available.
