>>>> Windows Media Center 2004 and Office 2003 Enterprise <<<<<<

Did not know where to post this; however, this place is good as any --

Just bought a Toshiba Satellite P25-S609 (3 Ghz Hyperthreading, 1.5 GB RAM
etc) - Windows XP Media Center 2004 Edition. After I installed Office 2003
Pro, and ran Word, Excel - they open up FAST. The problem is when I open
a file by double-clicking on it (the Word file or Excel) - it takes at least
ten seconds to open! Now if I open Word or Excel, and do a File -- Open
then it opens up instantaneously! Only when I double-click the file that
it is SLOWWWW!

Any ideas? Microsoft????? Thanks!

By the way, I even reinstalled Windows Media Center from scratch - just OS
and Office 2003 and still same results.

NOTE: The only other things installed on that is OS and Toshiba drivers.

Thanks.

Greetings --

When you double-click on the data file, the OS searches the entire
search path for the appropriate application. If you've a particularly
long search path, especially one that contains network drives, such
delays are normal.
