In a command prompt, type

net use <enter>

and see if you have any connections/mapped drives to unavailable shares.
This is the usual cause of the problem (presuming you mean that there's a
lag/delay when you click on file | open.... in Word or other apps).
Disconnect from the unavailable resources & test again.

We will need a better description of your network, how many computers,
are you in a domain or workgroup, if there is a server and if so, what
is the operating system. Please post back to this thread, and please
use complete sentences. Your ellipses make the information hard to
follow and you want to make it as easy as possible for people who are
trying to help you understand your situation clearly.

I have the same problem here for some of our word files.
We migrated 4 pc's from windows 200 pro to windows xp pro and now the
windows xp pc's have the problem that some word files open slow.
This even happens when the file is located on the local drive of the win xp
pc. For some files i was able to resolve the problem by changing the template
path from an non existing path to an existing path (the non existing path was
never a problem for windows 2000 pro). So for me it seems that there is some
sort of time out in windows xp pro that is longer then the time out in
windows 2000 pro for opening files.
Now is my question where can i find this time out setting?

I hope everyone understands what i just explained.

regards,
