Open the Windows Task Manager by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete and see what
application is hogging all your CPU usage. The fix depends on what
application is the culprit. Anti-virus software could be the reason.
 
Our Office XP Excel & Word files take about 10-12 seconds
to open from any Network drive location. Any other type of
files, including MS Access, open instantly. PDF files,
text files, etc. all operate normally. I just recently
updated Office XP with all available updates per MS with
no change to the problem. Problems seem to have started
around 12/25/2003.
