Over the past few weeks, I've noticed that applications, and it doesn't
matter which app, have been very slow to start if I click on a file or
shortcut, such as .doc for M/S Word, rather than starting with Word and from
within the app, opening the file/document.
I would like to say the problem is on one of two of my machines, but I've
noticed the problem on systems at work as well as friends and associates
calling me about the same problem on their PCs.
This problem exists for M/S apps as well as other products such as .pdf
files.
I do not think it has to do with anti-virus scanning since many of the
systems have the usual suites and products such as Norton, CA Mcafee, AVG,
etc.
To define slow, I'd say anywhere from 20 to 45 seconds.
I do not have a actual date as to when this started happening, but I',m
willing to guess it happened when a M/S update came down the line.
Any suggestions?
