Hardware : 1600 Mhz Pentium processor, 384 MB Ram, 40 GB HD
Software : Windows XP, SP-1, Office XP SR-2, InoculateIT Antivirus.

Problem : When i dubbleclick i.e. Word documents placed on my desktop, it
takes about 1 min. before i actually pops up, even if the Word document is
empty. The same thing occurs when i rightclick an icon placed on the
desktop - then it takes approx. 1 min. before the menu appears.
Some programs - like Internet Explorer (also placed on the desktop) pops up
immediately.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this problem ? or does it
sound like a re-installation.

Best regards
Claus
 
I have just experienced that, if I remove the network connection, the word
documnets, powerpoint presentations etc. , pops up right away ¿?

- the PC is connected to the internet throug a LAN, and gets its IP-adress
through a DHCP server. The network connection settings should be correct, i
have checked this by comparing with another PC on the same network.
