Default Office 2003 installed, then hangs after XP upgrade

I have a computer which has had an upgrade from Win98 to WinXP. After
the upgrade I installed Office 2003. When opening a document, it takes
20 minutes for the file to appear.

What's going on here!!??!?!!?!

I hope there's a fix for this...

Thanks!

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
information.

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=830561 "Documents that
have attached templates take a long time to open in Word 2002 and
in Word 2003" for another possible explanation.

Just a guess, but did you reinstall the printer after the "XP" upgrade?
Windows98 upgrades can leave odd litter about.
